Hi Willibur, Q: What does the meter say when you touch the leads tip to tip?
A: when I touch the leads tip to tip I got 00.6 I see why flux says to ignore the restiance of the coils.
Q:But you have that coil wound with two in hand ? right? or no?
If that is two 12 feet lengths in parallel then the resistance is 0.01713 per coil
A:Yes, I have the coil wound with 2 in hand, and it is two 24 feet lengths in parallel.
Hi Flux, (you say #1) With your 34 turns I predicted a cut in of 50 rpm from your figures. From calculation and making a guess at your flux density I got 40 rpm so your measurements are in the right order.
(you say #2) You would need about 17 turns for your intended cut in and you should manage 4 in hand of those wires (was it #14.5?)
Yes it is #14.5 gauge wire.
My Question regarding the above (you say # 1) Is this 40 r.p.m to low a cut-in, keeping in mind that this coil 34 turns and 2 wires in hand.
In (you say #2) If I were to use 17 turns,(4 in hand), is the cut-in the only thing that would change.
Thanks again Mitcamp
