Hello to all, first time poster,

I have been reading some posts about re wiring the stater, does this have anything to do with making it spin easier? The cogging affect? Also I was planning on just direct wiring my F&P mill direct to a grid tie inverter after I have rectified the 3 phase, so if it does not make is spin any easier, what would be the advantage?

Love this site by the way.

Cheers, Andy

Hi Andy,
It looks like you have to do some more reading on this forum

, your questions have been asked & answered previously. Do a search for 'decogging'.
Regarding connecting to a grid tie inverter - best to get to know your F&P more by charging batteries etc. before you jump into the deep end and mess with mains inverters.
Have fun

Last nights test with the Mann Smart Drive set up with the new 38 pole stator stock wiring and my NeoMagnet drum and hub makes at

78 RPM = after the rectfier =160 DC Volts
155 RPM = after the rectfier = 300 DC Volts

Steve Hansel [steve@us-vawt.com] has been helping out he has been great

Randys from Randys work shop has been too

So just rewire it OK have done a bunch of comantion. But I am going after a Grid Tie
System to save cost.
The problem is it makes so much power from the work GO it blows up cheap Grid ties
$200-$400 a pop and I mean POP I have a few on the floor still smoking you can see one in by YouTubes.
I have come up with few bandates for it but.
Steve is working out a solustion for all
