Hello, if this isn’t allowed then sorry, I’ve been tearing my hair our trying to understand the leads on a stator winding that came from a car alternator. I’ll start by saying this is the first project of this kind that I’ve ever attempted, I’m in school for electrical engineering junior level, but I’ve never worked directly with any stator windings.
Eventually I would like to wire the stator to an ESC in a delta or wye configuration, but for now I need to determine which leads are connected to which pairs of coils. I have done a lot of research and I thought I understood what to do but now I’m not so sure. So right now there are 3 pairs of 2 leads. The leads have continuity in 2 pairs of 3. If you see the attached pictures, the red dotted leads all have continuity with eachother, and the green dotted leads all hve continuity with eachother.
Based on the research I’ve done, I thought that I needed to snip the parallel wires and leave myself with 6 pairs of 2 wires. I thought that each of these pairs would be the ends of 1 of 3 inductors, the pairs being 2 inductors that ran side by side. But before cutting the parallel wires, I did some thought and came to the conclusion that I would not be left with what I anticipated.
So basically my question is if anyone can provide advice or expertise about these stator winding leads, if they would be able to essentially help me identify A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 or if they have any other suggestions. Thanks if you took the time to read and think about my problem. Perhaps with enough time I will be able to understand it on my own.
