Hello from Greece,
Been ages since I've posted anything.
A friend is in India so he'll arrange getting me a Powerline 6/1 from Mr. Patel from Anand corp.
While there I figure he might as well send me an alternator head. Anand make/sell stationary field, U-frame alternators, with separate
transfromer/choke rectifier for excitation. I've only heard positive stuff about Mr. Patel for years now, so I'd prefer to get the head from him also.
Unlike the ST series though, power is taken off the brushes, which implies, to me at least, possible, substantial brush wear/replacement. Also, a 5kva head is quite pricey, at over $600
Can anyone comment on design as well as practical differences of these heads wrt the ST heads, as it seems it's getting away from the simplicity of the harmonic excitation of the ST heads.
Are there any "reputable" suppliers in India for ST heads or are they all stationary field types?
Any recommendations
regards,
nikos
