Re: AC coil resistance equation



That by itself gets so close that why you worry about phase and pathagorams,
a simple but slight adjustment of the rotor, and it's there, plain and
simple.

I know the equation, but those are used when your designing a circuit that
will run without mainence, and has no variables.  Changing the rotor speed
can very easily lower the output power, and resolve a overheating problem,
by switching to a higher frequency.  If these hand wound coils, are pushed
to the limits of machine perfection, they will consistantly produce hot
spots.  So, in my belief a working coil is better than a smoking coil.
