Doug:
sounds like you got an st head
if so and you are considering scrapping the stator and rewinding it,, could i make a suggestion
bring out all the pole windings seperately,, i realize this is a butt load of wires but my thinking is
the st head configured with the poles in parallel might make a killer 24volt battery charger
5 watt @ 28 volts is one hell of a charger, and with a set of relays the windings could be regrouped for ac 120/240 as well
would make for a very versatile genhead in my opinion. or....
replace the Z windings with a set of battery charger windings, would be lower capacity i realize, but would make good use of the
slot space to do something useful i would think,, this would also make the genhead a bit more versatile.
i have somewhere a leece neville 2600jb, that i rewound years ago,, it will produce 480 volts at 2400 rpm,, the goal was 120 vac 60 hz at 600rpm
which i got to but the ampacity of the stator is around 7 amps,, not real useful... but it works it will power an angle grinder quite well.
i have an SD 5 kwatt 240 vac welding head that i got pretty cheap,, been thinking of rewinding it as well for a battery charger. i think i would like to split it
to maybe 2.5 kwatt 14 volt charger and 2.5 kwatt 120vac,, which would fill my needs quite well for most of the time except for laundry day.
post some pics of what you are doing,, am very interested in what you plan to do, and what you come up with.
