Hi InfoSomething is wrong.My WEG, once up to speed, will run
even without capacitors in the circuit.I never ran it long like that, because I was always trying to get the current draw as low as possible.Now , I had better dig one of my Roroverters out of storage, and test that to see if if might, in that condition, heat up.I use a 140, or 120 uf motor start capacitor to get my motors turning at full 60 hz speed, before I begin my play with them, using my capacitor tuning boxes.As I said, I had difficulty finding oil filled high voltage, low value uf capacitors, which are what I have been using. I have not tried other types, as I scored a whole bin of these oil filled kind, in an old electronics surplus store in downtown Toronto, ( which has since moved to some suburban industrial area miles out of downtown) The oil filled, are not common, but are not perhaps the only kind that work. They are only my experience, as I was new to Roto Verters, and trying to get my first one going, just to test this voodoo crazy thing Hector, and Doug, were doing.My emotions were high when the big lump of cast iron motor ran full speed, just as they said it would.I found myself running this mass on a tiny speaker wire of 26 gauge, just to prove to myself, I was not hallucinating- and my amp meters were mis-reading the draw of 200ma. at 110 volts 60hz AC.Once the magic full speed rotation happens with that 140uf cap, it was taken out of the start circuit, and the motors keep running, whether with grease, and seals or not.The one with seals, and grease uses 400ma of current, while removing the seals the other motor uses 200 ma.Both motors were brand new,, when I got them as surplus movie props from Del Toro's "Pacific Rim"It was cheaper to buy these real ones from China, than to have me make fake ones out of foam plastic, for a giant industrial scene in the movie. After the movie, I bought a pallet of these motors at the props sale. No one else wanted them as they were 480 volt three phase, and no one has that voltage in their homes and ordinary workshops here in Canada. They are in the realm of heavy industries only, outside the core of major cities, in industrial zones, with their special electrical sub stations pulling power from the main transmission grid. People buying at film prop sales don't buy for such heavy industries, or is it usual for film companies to buy the real thing new. I was just lucky to be working on this giant 200 million dollar budget film, with a director who likes the real stuff when possible.They bought containers of stuff from China, for scenes in the film.It was less trouble than shooting in China.That's the only reason I got my curious little hands on new motors, that never had to do anything except look pretty, as part of some giant robot.I don't spend a lot of money on my experiments. Hundreds have ended in failures, or miserable complicated contraptions that barely show any promise of running themselves.Hector, in spite of his flamboyant language sometimes, redeemed himself with this device, his Rotoverter. It works magic.At least, in my tests,1.614 times over unity. (Hector claims 1.618. I have more to improve)You are having a problem with yours, I have never experiencedAsk others in this group. Doug is reliable, and has a lot more experience, than I have, with this device.Cheers Warren

Hi, I wanted to thank all the guys who answered me to try to help me
solve problems with a rotoverter. The variac has arrived, but even if
placed at 1/4 of the current foreseen in connection to Y, the thing
does not change, the rotor turning without load heats up, the current
consumption is low, about 0.5 amp. which increases if the capacitor
microfarads increase, and the power is low .... the only doubt I have
left is the capacitors ... they are the normal ones for AC that they
sell in electronics stores, and not the old ones in oil bath ...
that's the problem ...? Has anyone ever done the same?
