Hi Ahto.

The schematic posted is not equal to delta or star. Star is equal to 2 phase in sires but with a voltage drop. Delta is equal to 3 phases wire perelell no voltage drop.

The schematic I posted is equal to 3 phases wired sires with no voltage drop.

The stator is stock wireing. This reduces rpm requierments drasticly.

Did you upload the diagram you intended Jerry.

As shown it will require higher speed than star.

Hey Flux thanks for bringing that to my atention. No I goofed. My bad. Best wear my glasses next time. Truble is my main computers is down. It has the right picture/schematic in it. I better find it soon or I'll look real silly posting the wrong picture.

I think Ed has the schimatic on his site also.

Sorry guys. Thanks Flux, way to keep an eye on things.

Hi wooferhound,

This schematic looks bit more useful than the previous one. It's probably covered in detail somewhere else on the board but can someone point out for short where's the catch. Why aren't everyone using it.

Too many volt drops in series diodes and to be any use the capacitors have to be monsters ( 20, ooo uf plus)

If you use schottky diodes and don't mind the cost of capacitors it is an alternative to rewinding. Not a first choice for an original winding.
