I have a possible project to convert a 3 phase Y connected 4 wire generator head to single phase.
I am comfortable with the theory of how everything will work. I plan to break one wire out of the Y-point and bring it up to the connection box so it can be joined to the end of one of the existing hot leads.
However, I would like some info on how to terminate the magnet wire into motor lead wire. Having no dead units to sacrifice.
I am imagining since this will be a once in a while type of occurrence to avoid special tooling, to crimp the (stripped/sanded) magnet wires into a bare butt splice, and then solder or braze. But what filler material or process to use has me wondering to avoid damage. Then cover with a fiberglass sleeve which is what it looks like the OEM does. And then zip tie and coat with Glyptal.
Ideas?
