Larry, the motor is a squirrel cage induction motor, no capacitor, 4 pole 1400 rpm @50Hz.
As I said earlier, it is not to drive any specific item, simply to feed into the house electrics 12/7, over a period of one year 150kW, minimal saving, but none the less, a saving, if I could get this to work, the the hydro would add a further 300 kW/ year.
This is simply me experimenting, on a larger scale it works and so I need someone to offer reasons, why on this small scale, it doesn't, same principle, grid acts as exciter, rotor magnetises, above sync speed, motor outputs to the grid, but for some reason this is not happening ?
