Hey Dave....
I have Ray Millers book (a signed copy) and George Butlers book too.......and actually will be spending the next few days wiring in a 25HP 3 phase motor for use as a single phase net metering generator (i already have a 5HP and a 7 1/2 HP on line) .....i'd like to see the photos of the other sites you have visited......I'm in Orford NH......let me know if you want to visit..........Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Blaze To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: [microhydro] 3 phase motor as generator for net metering and then some Some years ago I met a fellow in Vermont who was generating power and net metering (I think the power company knew about it) He was using a 3 phase motor which had 2 legs tied to the grid and the third leg had some excitation / power factor capacitors on it. He also was using a buck boost transformer on the third leg to control the voltage output and the power factor (so he claimed) I have original drawings showing all this that he submitted to Western Mass Electric many years ago. His name is Ray Miller and his company was called Harrisville Mill Service. He is mentioned in the book by George Butler and when I visited George before he died, he suggested I go visit Ray since he was only a few miles away. What a day that was! Anyone out there know about Ray or any of his installations, or the use of a three phase motor to generate power for net metering on a single phase system? While I have your attention, I am looking for small home built hydroelectric installations in New England to go look at and photograph. I have found a half dozen or so but I'm sure there are more.
