Micro 3 Phase AC Hand Brushless Motor Generator

Good product

I want to build a wind powered generator at my mountain cabin. But I wanted to design the best wind blades I could before I build it full size. this is very small but works as a generator would. I will take readings from different blades I design and find the best set. Then I will scale it up for a bigger genrator so this is helping in design for a big wind turbine. This keeps the cost down while I figure out what blades would work best.

It could have been bigger but it allowed me to prove the functioning of a circuit I designed.

Small but works

This thing is smaller than I expected, but if you look at the Amazon page carefully and compare with the LED, you can estimate its size. Or, look at the photo here. I tested it this evening with another product bought on Amazon (a 3-phase motor controller from Sydien), and was able to get the CrocSee Micro 3 spinning nicely. But only after feeding the controller with 12 to 15VDC. Lower than that and I could not get it to spin up and sync with the Sydien controller pictured. Used as a generator, it also works, of course. Comes with an LED plugged into two of the three pins on the connector. If you spin the shaft quickly with your fingers, it nicely lights up the LED in a pulsed fashion. Not terribly bright, but it seems to have a lens to focus and is fine for indoor observation. Unloaded, I measured about 2V AC (peak) with a quick finger-spin. With my DMM, I seem to read around 2K Ohms per winding - but that varies (maybe due to AC noise picked up by the coils from the room lights?). So don't expect much current from the thing used in generator mode. 2V and 2K is 1mA at this speed. 10 times faster and I would expect maybe 10 mA - which seems consistent with the kind of numbers I got when monitoring the full current when operated as a motor (about 30 mA at 50 RPM). Of course Safety should always be considered. You don't want a big high-powered, high voltage, high current device for teaching and experiments. (All my motor experiments on the CrocSee Micro 3 used a low-voltage (< 15V), wupply with current limit) Your mileage may vary of course - but for a nice little motor/generator intended for experiments and as a teaching age, it satisfied my needs - especially at the price !

Please use slightly thicker wire so the inner connections dont break off from just spinning, was performing as expected to spcecs but the middle wire popped off killing 2 phases leaving me with a single phase to generate power off of, if you do decide to improve upon the motor, let me know about your updated listing here please, id like to use this motor as a part for a small 3 phase power supply, your feedback upon the situation is appreciated, thanks.

My picture shows it being a generator spun by an and battery screwdriver at about 300 rpm . I also ran it as a motor with the HiLetGo 3 phase brushless dc driver at up to 14 volts. It’s not a powerful motor - I can stop it with my fingers. Great for demo though. I also made a 3 phase full bridge rector for it just to show how that works. All in all pretty neat. I only wish I could see how it’s wired as that would bring it all together as an educational thing.

Great Generator

Excelente!

Conforme à mes attentes

good quality, very small & perfect for small application

Este mini generador puede servir para un pequeño experimento en la escuela o un mini generador eolico para que aprendan los niños,,,
