Another machine that we bought recently. I bought it off a very bad picture as an induction motor.
I noticed however that the stator arrangement was adjustable and that does not make sense in any induction machine.
Upon arrival it turned out to be a synchronous generator. At first I thought it was 2 phase because of the way the leads come out of the housing, but it is 3 phase.
The slip rings are situated on both sides of the salient pole rotor. There is no exciter. The machine is supposed to be separately excited.
I gather the adjustable stator is for synchronization purposes. However, synchronizing a 1,5 kVA machine to any grid does not make much sense to me.
