It has a belt drive which i believe is a 1.5-1 ratio. I very much doubt I would be trying to drive this at anywhere close to it's max output and I can easily overcome most of the downsides of this just by reducing my DOC and better calculating the speeds and feeds. Hell, if i can get 30% of the normal max power it would turn this from a beautiful giant doorstop into a machine again!!
To be honest I am going to have to figure this out as i go along, it is deeply outside of my comfort zone. I work with big AC all the time but DC, of this kind, is a mystery to me (but getting clearer as i look into it more). Getting this running is first on the list so I will give this a go and put fuses into the line so i don't do any damage. I have a few different caps i can use and i can trial a few different configurations to see how it is effected. Then I will further look at the control side, when i can get this to work.
I will try this too and let you know how it goes, so long as i don't do any permanent damage I am up for trying anything!
First things first though, i will have a bit of time tomorrow to do some measuring and calculations then will see where I am!
Thank you for all your help.
