(convergent)
3 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 3edf or 3ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 3 equal parts of about 234 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/3, or the cube root of 3/2.
Theory
3edf divides the just perfect fifth into three equal parts, each of size 233.985 cents, which is to say (3/2)1/3 as a frequency ratio. It corresponds to 5.1285…edo.
It can also be treated as a heavily compressed version of 5edo, with the octave compressed by about 30 cents. Its patent val matches that of 5edo up to the 7-limit, and thus tempers out the same commas.

Factoids about 3edf
3edf is essentially equivalent to the slendric temperament, which tempers out 1029/1024 in the 2.3.7 subgroup, without octave repetition, and its step size is the 1/3-comma tuning of the slendric generator (approximated by, for instance, 8\41 and 39\200). It also works well as a tuning for arto and tendo chords.
