Yes the lacing of the that pair of wires is a work of art.
I wondered whether it might be something that measures amps as it is wired into the voltage /amperage display switch.

Hi Bob
All points noted.
The connector block is rated at 32amp but I will look for something more OE.
In the the attached photos what do you think is the round item. Looks like a buzzer ?

Will do that’s my style.
Many thanks for your help, couldn’t have done it without you.
If you ever need any thing sourcing from the uk let me know and I’ll try and help.
Regards
Al

Bingo! 427 volts each phase!
Enjoyed every moment :)

Morning Bob.
I think it’s going to be a good day!
I didn’t go to the motor rewinds CO.
It was bothering me that I could not get any response from any of the tappings , so I stripped down the connector block to double check everything.
I found that all my connections were sound and then it hit me.
The magnet wire is enamel coated! I didn’t know that, but I do now.

So in the process of burning off and sand papering down to metal.
Update you later!
  :)

Yep it seems to be pointing at the transformers, I’ll get them checked tomorrow.

Nothing about it makes me think it’s over heated, but I will take it tomorrow to be tested.
Let you know ASAP.
Thanks

Do you know how to test the windings?

Ok, with a 2500w kettle plugged in the single phase and neutral the voltage dropped from 169 to 159.

See pics of set up.
I,m getting 268 v across phases 1,2 and 3 and 169v across a phase and neutral.
I will try and find a kettle to put the single phase under load?

Hi Bob

I sprayed the coils and wire with a good anti tracking spray.
The thicker cables run right back to the brushes.
Not sure how I test the phases without these attached.

Ok Bob I will have ago at that tomorrow.

When I fired it up for the very first time I had 400 + volts show on the volt meter, after about 30 secs I thought I saw the volt meter increase considerably and by that time it had started to smoke so I shut it down.

I have tested the bridge rectifier and it is ok. All six readings are good.

I have disconnected all transformer connections and done some tests as below.
There are no shorts to ground.
Continuity between in put and out put is good.
Not sure how to test tappings, but again no shorts here or indeed any continuity with anything on the tappings.
I have a megger and all cables have very good insulation.
All three transformers behave the same.
Is there anything else I can do?

Ok Bob I’ll work through that, I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks.

Another question.
When flashing the stator windings do you do it either engine running?
