The idea was to use used cheap 3 phase induction motor and conect it to the 25HP tractor shaft (750-1000 rpm) in order to drive 1 and 3 phase loads (other motors) The solution must be cheap because my friend (the farmer) can't afford something expensive... :-(
mc5w, appart from efficiency...
thanx electricpete,
you are right, this subject is discussed but I was not able to find the equations. Mark (probably the one you mentioned) only mentions that that's possible... maybe the right posting is gone...
Is there a way to calculate the capacitor values according to the output power, rpm and/or some other characteristic of the motor. What would be the (tipical) efficiency?
thx
