>Hi all
> I have been offered a 25 kva generator with a separate exciter motor. I
plan to use this with a pole pig when one turns up. I am planning to
connect a variac between the exciter motor and the main alternator to give
me the equivalent of a 125 amp variac. I know, I will need a bigger garage.
It then occurred to me that I might be able to drive a rotorary gap direct
off the alternator shaft to give a true synchronous output with phase
angle adjustment accomplished by making the fixed contacts adjustable. Does
this sound workable, sensible?, possible. Have I missed anything. All
feedback welcome.
