Hi Ed, I have steadly increasing the pipe sizes to find a good match. This one is a square pipe 2 1/2 x 2/12 by almost 1/2 inch thick. The induciton motor was a beast and this pipe needed to match. Also I have yet to connect the additional 4 more lines to hold her. at this point there are four, with 4 pipes in each direction sunk down 7 ft. I intend to also make some cement and go around each of the 4 about 1 ft down by 1 ft across for more support if needed. Maybe tomorow.
i have been steadly working on this genny for the last 5 weeks now so I did'nt get the chance yet to work on the new core. I was thinking abou the best way to do it and the wire size. now that this generator is done I will have some time shortly to begin on that core, so hang in there. If you want it back I can do so, up to you. I just need more time personally. Have been busy with business picking up and this genny.
Having fun is part of the job!
