Just got the 3PH rotary converter hooked up to the machine. What I am noticing is that the motor seems sluggish. Not going at its full potential. With these 80 year old windings I figure there may be some breakdown but if I have it right each winding to itself measures good at about 2.6 ohms.
Each winding to its neighbor is running at 240 volts UV VW UW etc etc.
I have not measure each winding to the frame but I should be getting open as in no resistance.
After about 3 mins of running the thermal breaker will trip.
Any suggestions? I will end up pulling contacts and giving a good clean.
Thanks
