Does anybody know anything about these small Chinese generator
ends?
Any way to test the magnetics?
Would posing this question to the manufacturer yield any assistance?
Is that likely to work?
You don't know until you try.

When using 110v single cycle on one leg, where is your neutral
(negative) connected?
Gerry
At the junction of the three phase windings, which are then arranged as a
Y,
Neutral is whatever phase is referenced to ground. In a Y (wye) connection,
the center is often referenced to ground. In a delta connection, any phase
can be referenced to ground providing all three phases are initially
isolated from ground.

I want to try some of the Seafoam in my parents' Motorhome Onan genset. It

had gone bad. This was indeed the case as when I opened it up, there
It looks like you are tapping across two branches if a Y connection then
adding the third winding to the end. I can see how you are gettng the
voltage you want out of the system but what does the wave form look like? It
can't be a sine wave.

If it has an ST-style induction generator head (popular with Chinese
gensets), you need some residual magnetism in the rotor to generate
enough current to energize the feedback circuit that controls the
voltage output. It feeds some of the output voltage back to the rotor
to create the magnetic
Maybe try something other than solder? You can sand the connection
clean and use 2-part epoxy to hold on the end cap.

Just because it's brushless doesn't mean it can't be
flashed externally or has no residual - both types of
design rely on some sort of bootstrap arrangement to
get things going.
OK. I have three candidates for windings: 17 ohm,
1.2 ohm, and 0.6 ohm. I've already fed power through
a test
Thanks. It would seem he would have problems running 220v appliances
with
single phase motors from two legs since they wouldn't have single

Not at all. You get 208V single-phase power. Clean sine wave.
That power is out of phase with the 120V loads, but that never
matters. 240V *

If you find the field windings, you can put 12V to
them to get the generator to produce output. Based on
