Re: [TCML] Phase



Hi Tony,

Keep the motor off, but keep the electrodes aligned, see if the tank volts gets high enough to jump the gap. If it does then make the gap wider and keep going. Then you need to physically move the sync motor while it is running. The spark gap should only fire within a few degrees of manual adjustment. mark the points from left to right where the spark gap stops conducting then you have your centre point which will be the top of the AC cycle. You can then adjust your gaps wider if needs be once you have worked out your gap fire.

If your gap does not fire while the motor is running then just close them down a fraction and try again..

Hope this helps..

Chris

Good morning all,
I was wondering if anyone has any advise on presetting the phase on a SRSG? I'd like to set it right in the begining for maximum bang for my buck. I read about using a flurescent light but I could see anything when I tied that besides a spinning electrode. Your advise is appreciated.

Tony
