Hi all,
   I have a small induction motor that i'd like to turn into a sync motor..
however, I can't seem to figure out where the dead poles are. The motor is
rated at 3500rpm and uses a 4uf cap to run.. it only draws 450mA -at- a rated 1/37
HP.. (this is gonna be a really small sync gap for a table top coil.. just for
fun.. :-D ).. I'm guessing there should be 2 run windings since it is 3500
rpm.. but there don't appear to be any start windings.. do I have the wrong
kind of motor? (non-salient pole) Thanks for any help..
