Question: Have you run these? How much torque do they take to pump
out the amps? Output voltage @ various amperages?

"Here is my alternator test cart. It has 2 5HP motors. Will give me
about 330A before both motors stall. I can only get about 125A off one
motor before the temperature breaker blows."

Hmm, takes 5hp for 125A and 10hp to get 330A? I won't be getting
welding current out of it from a bicycle, but I'm sure I can get
1-200w @12v for charging batteries on bad solar days.

Um, that's the thread we're on now. Nothing new here.


Look at the early posts..from 2009 or before. Missed those didnt you?

(Grin)


Yup. I scrolled DOWN for some reason. I'll now go look at the
rest of the articles, now that I know they're there.


I googledit and found this as the best source yet:
http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php...-amp-dc-welder
It links to an Esab/Scott 125 manual in German/English/Swedish?, too.

Can anyone please translate the tech data (direction/rpm/torque/hp
requirements) for me? Is it 8500 or 3600 vrooms per minuten?
B&S 8.0 hongkongs (5.9kw)?

Hurray!
