Great, those were the answers I was looking for. I figured there had to be more to converting from one to three phase than just rewinding the coils. Magnet spacing explanation was especially helpful. I'll just keep it single phase. Thanks again! Du
Motorwinder,
Is the 120 degree spacing only important when trying to make 60hz power? Does it matter in this application since I am just trying to produce current that will go into a regulator/rectiifier that will just charge a battery?
Waross,
The MS-Paint drawing I made is my plan to rewire from one phase to three. I just used the various colors to help differentiate between each pair of coils. The stator is currently wired as single phase, well actually four coils are used for battery charging and two get turned on when...
How do you rewind a one phase motorcycle stator to three phase? I was wanting to do this since I've been told that three phase is more efficient. I have looked all over motorcycle forums and no one seems to have a good explanation for this question. My stator has six poles and the rotor has six...
