[TCML] SRSG Motor Problem Continued

[Andrew Robinson <teslamad@xxxxxxx>]

John,

   You hit it right on the nose! Basically everything you said 
confirmed everything, thank you. We were terrified of the dwell time of 
this motor (not much we can do there) and we had planned on building the 
phase controller to combat the phase issues. Unfortunately as you 
pointed out we were expecting to have to readjust the phase before each 
run which I know sounds kind of crazy but it was either that or start 
back at square one which equals alot of lost time and money which we are 
short on both. The one question which i believe we are circling but not 
hitting directly is this... can you just confirm this.

The only reason we call a motor "synchronous" is because it has a rpm 
rating that is a multiple of the line frequency being used.

600, 1200, 1800, 3600 = Syncronous

1725, 3450, or any other rpm not divisible by the line freq = standard 
everyday motor, aka induction motor
