Hi, I have a Lister 3kw alternator (alternator only) being driven by a CS 6/1 at 650 RPM. This is not a matching pair, I have built it as a manual start plant. It all appears to be working ok - the volt meter shows 230v and several 100w bulbs can be lit. But it cannot start the single phase motor in my pillar drill, rating unknown, or another 1ph motor rated at 1600 watts. Any ideas why?
