Hi Guys,
Recently watched a Youtube video where the uploader made their own generator using an old washing machine motor.
Treating the macine as a motor (Washing Machine):
My confusion began when the wiring diagram was shown (see figure 1 below). Looking at how it is terminated (circled in red) to me it appears as a Wye-type configuration. If a washing machine is powered by a single phase in a home - How is this single phase converted and applied to this 3-phase load?
Figure 1:
Treating the machine as a generator:
Out of curiosity, if I remove 2 of the phases and I lead the wire (shown as 'X') to a load and I connect the other end of that load to ground - Would that work?
Re-wired stator:
I know that the amount of magnets has an effect on the frequency and torque, but how will the following configuration affect the output?
