Unfortunately I don't have anything to share since I've not had the opportunity to look at the stator wiring myself. I expect if anyone can do it a good motor shop can. Be sure to let us know if they figure it out.

I'm really looking forward to it. I hate that I've not finished up the schematic. I need to get a bit of motivation to finish it. Once I get home I'll be building a shop. When thats done I'll have the space and hopefully the time to do a bunch of generator experimentation. I have prototype...

"Rental" engineer. Doing an expansion in Hillsboro OR for a sterile products filling plant (biopharma).

No response. I'll keep looking around though. I won't be able to do any serious work on one if it falls into my lap till I'm back at home full time at the end of the year.

Its true that in a perfect world there would be no imbalance. Anytime you allow single phase loads on a multi-phase source you WILL have phase load imbalances. What this does is causes uneven heating in coils and higher neutral currents. Normally this is a bad thing. If the generator was wound...

Agreed that it isn't the best scenario. But in the world of you run what you got.. Thats how it goes. The reality is that in a residential backup situation we aren't going to run these machines hard or long. Sure, and imbalance is bad. Its worse for a machine that runs at high loads for long...

If you connect it up that way it will be 208v. The power will be 120 degree out of phase instead of 180 degrees. That will be ok for most things but anything with a 240v motor will run hotter than normal. Any of the 120v loads will see normal power. I expect you already understand that you will...
