Hey there.
I've got an old Westinghouse P-1 dynamo. Armature rated 200A at 28 volts. Field rated 8A at 28 volts. My primary usage for it is mobile arc welding, but it would be nice to be able to use it as a variable power supply for odd tasks like battery charging in remote locations.
The armature rating is only 28 volts, but it would be nice to be able to squeeze 36-38 volts out of it once in a while so I can bulk charge dead locomotive batteries if need be.
Is there a product readily available that fits these specifications, or can someone provide insight into a suitable circuit architecture for a static exciter fitting this description?
