Hello everyone
I am trying to make a small three phase ac stator so a rotating magnetic
field will be produced. I can use a ring with an outer diameter of 3
inches and an inner diameter of 1.5 inches with each of the six poles
being 1 inch with about 100 turns of 24 magnet wire or a ring with an
outer diameter of 8 inches and an inner diameter of 6 inches with each
of the six poles being 2 inches with about 200 turns of 24 magnet wire.
Since I live in the US we only have single phase ac, not three phase. I
bought a variable frequency drive that produces three phase ac from
single phase ac but it is only 4 amps and since I would like to make my
magnetic field about .5 to 1 Tesla I do not know if that will be enough?
Is it enough? Will this be enough turns to get the .5 to 1 Tesla?
The most important question I have regarding the three phase power is
that I know you can use 3 individual single phase ac lines and use a
capacitor to make two of the three legs 90 degrees apart. Is there a way
to use capacitors to make the second leg 120 degrees out of phase from
the first leg and the third leg 240 degrees out of phase from the first
leg?
Or, how about just using two ac lines with one having a capacitor in series?
Would that create a rotating magnetic field or would it be pulsing, as I
want it to rotate counterclockwise in space around the inside of the
stator ring?
oh the small ring is about 1/8 inch in depth with 1/8 inch depth coil
forms(iron or steel) and the larger ring is about 1/8 inch in depth with
1/2 inch depth coil forms(iron or steel. If I need more turns then I will have to make overlapping layers. I am starting another thread to ask about how to overlap coil turn layers:

Thank you so much for your help.
