I finally got my 2 hp induction motor conversion completed.
The aluminum sleeve and solid iron rotor were machined in a metal workshop.
That was expensive 200 euro.
First i marked and drilled holes for magnets. With a handheld power drill and hole saw.
Then glued the magnets in place with araldite
After this sealed the holes with epoxy paint.
Then i installed the new rotor in place.
Oh and painted the whole package with epoxy paint.
It seems to turn quite easily. Can turn it with two fingers only. Cogging is hardly noticeable.
I hear some slight scratching noice when turning the thing. Hopefully it will go away when i make it spin faster. Prob there is just some paint contacting the stator.
Anyway now it's time for some testing. And figuring out the wiring.
I tried to find that internal connection point but there is no connection with 3 wires going in. There is three places were two wires are connected though.
The connection box has 6 connections in it.
It surely will be interesting to see what i can get from this thing.
