Hi guys
Thanks for your advice recently re the Chinese ST head
I temp-fitted it to the CS last weekend with a flat-belt drive
At 650-ish RPMs it was making something like a scary 380 VAC. I lowered the engine speed in stages until at 528 RPM on the Lister it was producing a no-load 260 VAC. No idea what the waveform will be like - that's a question for another day
See link attached for a short video of it running?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TC9fY1mfnfsThe Youtube guys have done a better-than-normal job of reducing the video quality to "awful" - but what the hell
I'm calling it the beginnings of a "win" and have taken that head off and put it aside for the moment to have a play with my Markon head which is a much nicer unit, to see what that will do
Whatever the relationship with these Chinese STs is between RPMs and VAC - it doesn't seem to be linear.
Once I have had a play with the Markon I can re-mount the ST-clone and find something with an oscilloscope and a Hz meter to give me some more to work with if I like
Thanks for all the various advice on this
I will have some stupid questions to ask re the Markon head, I'm sure; as it has just four identical unmarked black wires coming out of it lol. I have it on the bench atm checking to see where there's continuity and what the resistance is between the various wires for some clues
Cheers
