Re: Synchronous Motor



to: Alan

Yes, it should work fine as a synchro RSG.  Many of these motors also had an
external capacitor wired in the circuit --- approx 2-5 MFD was common.  Be
sure to check the circuit wiring to see if it had a cap in there.

You could plan on a 7 inch dia x 1/4 inch thick type LE or type CE phenolic
disk as your rotor.  Use 4 electrodes with a 1800 RPM motor.  Be sure to
have the rotor part done by a competent machinist so the balance is good and
the electrodes are accurate.  1/8 inch TIG welding electrodes work nice as
the rotor electrodes.
