...My first RV experimental setup, to test the motor for light loading conditions. Basically, I just got the motor and hooked it up to see how it would go. Quite well as it turned out!
I will send updates as I do new experiments.

Group,
I have just run a three phase induction motor from a single phase supply. Here's how it went.
- I re linked a delta wired, 50Hz, 4kW, 1420 RPM, 230/415V motor to wye.
- I used the motor as I got it, with a 150mm diameter pully and motor fan still attached.
- The 230V was stepped down to 120V, to supply the motor. The starting cap was 78uF, and the motor run caps totalled about 10uF using a series/parallel combination of 8uF capacitors. I only had 8uF caps on hand.
- The 10uF capacitance gave the best resonance, with the motor running off 121.8V and 160mA. The current was measured with a clamp, not a precision shunt. That gives 19 VA.
Thank you to all those that have created the manuals on the RV and
TV. What a help!
Cheers, Rupert

Dont think you guys I have left you neglected (you had it coming )!
Congratulations.....
Now the customary questions .....
How you feel looking it perform as stated ? (Power on demand)?
As a ZPE R&D tool (are you satisfied?)
Addictive ? isent it ? (Runs cool & cold)
But watch thoose fingers and neckties, RV Is stronger than what you may think. (something can ripp off....) "Easy".
Hector :)
(The fellow who perverted the free energy community minds with Rotoconversion theory) LOL!) (:P

The first thing I did was to feel around the motor after a while, yet there was no obvious feeling of heat coming from the machine. Well I laughed like an idiot when it ran on the first try:-)
Next I want to see what I can get out of this old motor. Very addictive stuff... Thanks for the tip on the neck tie, I'll remember to keep it off in the workshop LOL!
