Re: [TCML] 3 phase sync.

[jhowson4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Kevin, 
I do not know for certain at all. But I speculate that It might be possible. 
On a single phase motor, either 2 or 4 flats are generally used to remain symmetric to the driving coils depending on motor speed. 

So a three phase motor has 3 sets of driving coils each separated by 120 degrees (I think) 
So to me it would stand to reason that one could utilize flats separated by 120 degrees or some third multiple such as 3 at 120 apart , 6 at 60 apart, etc. 

Then again, the peaks for each phase occur at a different time, so the above statements could be complete nonsense for that reason. 

But I would be very interested in finding out if it were possible, that would be cool. 




Thanks, 
John "Jay" Howson IV

Hey all 

has anyone converted a 3 phase induction motor synchronus by milling flats 
on the armature as done with single phase motors?
