Subject: Re: ARSG Motors (fwd)
Hi Jeff,
No, the possibility still exist. As the rotary speed is
increased/descreased, the charge rate is varied accordingly and is not
in sync with the charge rate. It's simply the ability to change speeds
and bps for a given cap/transformer configuration. So, the same
situation applies to DC motors as well. It's no different in that respect.
Take care,
Bart
