RE: SRSG motor power

["Basura, Brian" <brian.basura-at-unistudios-dot-com> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

Bill,

Jeff Parissie posted the results of his testing a couple months ago. He
found that a variac does indeed change the phase angle sufficient to fine
tune a running coil (as he showed a number of us one evening). Check the
archives there is a good thread on the subject...

If I ever get time, I will.  As it is, I'm doing well to keep up with the
list traffic.

Huh?!?  A variac can be used to vary the voltage or current feeding the
motor, but I don't see how it can vary the phase, unless the added
inductance of a variac in series would cause sufficient phase shift, but if
you do that, then you're also varying the available current to the motor,
which doesn't seem like a very good idea.
