Thanks for the responses, Excitation of the generator is not going to be a problem.
If any one could point me towards a website or book that could provide some figures to back up the discussion around the torque of single phase induction motors at start up or the extra heat/losses that could...
Thanks for the responses,
The clutch arrangement is interesting, much simplier than using an extra starter motor with extra battery and all the other extra associated wiring.
Is the over heating problem coming from the extra coil needed to start induction motors? This coil would be switched...
Thanks for the replies.
I have a 50 Hz supply to start the motor, so I do have a live line to add power to the network and that is what I am planning to do. But as Skogsgurra said the low starting torque of single phase induction motors is going to be a problem I hadn't thought about. Sounds...
Hello,
I want to use a single phase motor to start a small (1.5~2kW) 100cc 4 stroke spark ignition engine and then use the engine to run the motor as a generator.
How feasible is this?
I currently dont know the starting torque required to start the small engine, but my guess is that it would...
