Rewrap auto motive alternator for single phase power
For my next possible build and this one is a doozie. I have a pretty far out set of almost impossible to meet specifications as usual that the consumer market does not meet.
I would like to build a high frequency motor driven alternator that produces much higher than normal frequency single phase power for welding aluminum.
For this build I am thinking I take an automotive alternator, butcher the stator and rewrap it in a single phase 6 pole configuration.
From what I have been reading on aluminum welding machines, as little as 90Hz can maintain an arc.
So I was thinking if I rewrapped an alternator for 6 pole single phase configuration I could get from 300 to 500Hz.
I have a pretty good idea how I might do it, but I would like to avoid getting it in 2 or 3 tries, because that would waste a lot of magnet wire and time. So kind of want to nail it on the first try.
Has anyone seen anything like this in their internet travels?
