First induction conversion
« on: January 08, 2005, 12:29:17 PM »
Well its all put together, except for the assembly bolts(had it so long i missplaced those)i'll find um, meantime It's held together with a clamp.


It's a 1/2 hp Century motor off a Sears sump pump, 4 poles, 1725 RPM, 6.5 amp. It has 4 groups of 3 bar neos 2" X .5" X .25" (boy those things are hard to get together)2 north 2 south(groups that is) skewed. Space between groups is not precisely the same(do to difficulty in grouping) but it's very close I HOPE that won't affect the output to much(crossed fingers). I have not been able to do much as far as checking the output goes yet, but spinning with my fingers(real scientific) and setting my meter to lock on the higest reading I checked both the run and start windings and get the following. Start (i think, big wire) 7.03VAC   Run (small wire) 5.85VAC. Hope thaat's a good sign.


Well that's it for now. I gotta go see if I can rig up someway to turn this thing at a given speed. Sorry no pics. No camera. I'll post again when I get some decent reading and hopefully some pics.

for a test just tape a socket say 1/2 inch on shaft end and put a bolt in a cordless drill stick it in and go

you should find the drill revs on the spec plate on the drill

Your a genious I mulled arround here yesterday and didn't come up with anything,but I was thinking way to complicated. Feel kind of stupid when it turns out to be so simple. Duh. I don't know how many times I walked right by that socket set


Thanks

slide a piece of hose over the shaft--then find a bolt to fit in the other end--cut

down or grind down the bolt to fit your drill--then just use hose clamps on the shaft

and bolt end..
