    Don, you could print that. Scribble on it and snap a pic. Arrow is wrong in the finish leg for sure.

    Well you ended your wire, right where I ended mine. What I wanted you to do was see the pattern, and carry that all the way to the finish and fill all the slots for that leg. Clearly, I'm still not explaining it to where ya'll are getting what's going on, completely.

    When using an 18 slot stator, you HAVE to have 3 coils per leg, 120 degrees apart. You HAVE to have this. And then since we have three legs, you have to have three per all three legs, so that's 9 total.

    This particular wind has 6 coils per leg, 3 CCW and 3 CW, times 3 legs, so thats 18 coils total. I drew only 4 coils in my picture so it would be bigger and easier to see, and did not carry the wire all the way to the end, but I thought I explained it in the text how to carry it on out to the end. But I know the text gets very confusing and is really easy to get lost in it.

    Give me a few minutes while I try to get a better drawing made that will make the finish more understandable.

    Terry, I meant to say that your drawing is correct, up to the last part on the right where you went back to the start.

    Stalled. Got it.

    I have about 6 hour of windshield time to do. I'll fix it after.

    Here is one leg all the way through. The finish is not going to make much sense to you laid out like this until you understand what's going on, and until you can imagine the flat stator in the drawing, turned back into a round cylinder.

    To do that, I drew this one so that the ends would line up when folded together. This closes the stator up and makes it round again. I folded mine to make the picture come out better, but it would make more sense to you and look more real if you would tape yours together and make a tube out of it.

    DSC_0003.jpg

    Now you should be able to see how the wire goes all the way back to the very first slot where we started, to give that first slot it's third pass of the wire. Then continuing CW sts and up and out for the finish.

    See now how your start position and finish position of the lead wires is in the exact same location as they were in the "simple" 3 D wind. Makes you wonder WHY, they do it this way?????

    By looking a this diagram you do not get the problem of the dead tooth as in Post #52 or the picture in post #50

    I'm not sure Larry. I don't think it will have a dead tooth, because it has wire going both ways and looks like it would have to catch those three teeth too.


    But I am unwinding that green practice stator now, and will rewind it with this wind and then we can look at the bottom, (I like looking at bottoms!) and see if it still has the dead teeth.

    Maybe once the stator is stuffed and pressed, wouldn't that tooth be filled in a lot more?

    (I like looking at bottoms!) Me too - I have always said that I am a leg man, only because they go up and make a A&& of them selves!

    Nope, do dead spots in this wind.

    DSC_0001.jpgDSC_0002.jpgDSC_0003.jpgDSC_0004.jpgDSC_0005.jpg


    But after thinking on it a while I remembered something that I had said earlier. Don't worry about the end turns, they don't do anything for the motor. It's the wire in the slots that makes the difference.

    That other wind didn't have wire wrapped around the end of those three teeth BUT that don't matter!!! Those teeth had wire in the slots right beside them, and that's what matters!



    But I want you to notice in these pics that the wire I took out of the normal 3 turn from before, is exactly the same length as this wind needed. I did not cut the wires at all. I have decided that it's the length of the wire (in the slots) that determines the kv. Again, the end turns and the leads have nothing to do with it. Not the length of each strand, but the length of the turn or turns of a single strand or a bundle of strands making up a turn or turns.


    I finished up a motor this morning using this wind, and I have to say that it does seem like this wind can run longer before getting hot, than the normal 3D wind. I have noticed this before too. I ran the one this morning for a good long while, and it still was not to hot to hold......Interesting???

    It might get more covered up, to where it wouldn't show. But as I said in my post above, I need to quit looking at the end turns cause they don't do nuttin.

    I had it once you said "finish the phase numb nuts". Paraphrasing. See if this smells right.

    I was doing some more reading. Multiple recommendations for a rubberized CA made by Loctite on any bare spots on the stator. That's basically tire glue aint it?

    That's it. Looks good.



    Seems like I have read about that glue before. Mostly from the outrunner rewinding guys. Never tried it though, ca does good enough for me on the little chips.

    Terry,

    I haven't covered it before, only said "do it". That's the disassembling of the wire in the stator. I know that seems like it should be an easy thin to do, but that's not so true if your trying to not bugger up the insulation on the stator.

    I have a few motors coming in to be rewired, and I think there will be a 2000kv dyna in the batch. I'll try to get a few pics of the process to show some of the things that I have found to make it an easier job, that doesn't mess up that insulation. The 2000 is the hands down winner in the, easiest to "unwind" race. It's just the hardest one to get the stator out though, since the front end bell won't come off.

    Heat is the main tool to make it easier because that softens the glue that they dip them in after they get them wound up at the factory. Here are the tools that I use, a heat gun, but a good hot hair drier would work too. A pair of channel locks to hold the hot stator, a pair of small side cutters or dikes, an awl is handy for lifting the wire away from the stator, and some acetone and wire tooth brush to clean it up with.

    The AQ motor is probably the second easiest to take apart, but it's twice as hard as the 2000. The glue they use is harder and has to be a lot hotter to soften, and that makes it a lot easier to chip that insulation on the ends of the stator.

    Then there's the SOB of the bunch, the dynamite 1500. It will not come apart without messing up the insulation. And I usually lose a few of the stator laminations because they get bent and twisted. So after getting all the wire out finally, I have to soak it in hot lye to remove ALL the stator insulation, and then recoat it.

    DSC_0003.jpgDSC_0002.jpgDSC_0004.jpgDSC_0001.jpg

    Here I have a stator ready to coat with powder, heat proof tape on the outside and teflon wrap inside the rotor hole. These are to keep the powder off of where I don't want it. That stuff is hard to send off. And the wrap on the hole, gives the powder something to rest against so that it will bridge the gap between the teeth and seal the slots off from the rotor hole. You have to do that to keep the wires from finding there way through that gap, and getting against the spinning rotor. That will make smoke real quickly!

    I made up this small fluid bed to "dip" the stators in. It works suprisingly well to be made out of pvc and an aquarium air pump. The fluid bed makes the powder act like a liquid, so that when I dip it in, the powder "flows" into all the slots, and doesn't lump up.


    I dip it a few times until I have a good build up, not to much or you reduce the size of the slots. Then it goes into the oven @ 400F for 15 to 20 minutes. And that makes a good hard slick finish on the stator.

    Let's do a WYE this time. From now on let's call it a Y, like normal folk do.

    The y is different from the d mainly in how the wires "terminate" or end. With the delta, we used three individual wires (or bundles of wires) for the 3 legs, and all 6 ends got twisted together in pairs of two. The y differs by taking all three wires and twisting one end of each together, so that all three make up one wire "harness", I guess you could call it that. And the other ends of the harness has your glued up needles on them.

    DSC_0007.jpg

    Take the harness and put the needle end of one into a slot. Now for another difference between d and y, skip over one slot and insert the second needle, skip another slot and insert the third needle. It should look like this pic.
    DSC_0008.jpg

    With the wires coming out the bottom, lets take the orange one first and skip two slots (STS) to the right and go back up. This will be our first coil. It doesn't go back to the start slot like the d wind did. We'll catch up to that start slot later. I'm doing a 3 turn wind on this one just like the delta had. So do your 3 turns and exit out the top. STS to the right again and start the second coil. Do the 3 turns and move to the right again like always sts and back in for the third and final coil for this leg.

    Now we get to go back to the very first slot where we started and go down giving it it's second pass. Finish the three turns and exit out the top.
    DSC_0012.jpg

    Notice how the wire is the same length that it was when we used it to do the 2 different ways of doing the delta wind. # turns equals the same length of wire no matter how you do it!

    DSC_0013.jpgDSC_0014.jpg

    Top and bottom shots of the first set of coils.


    Now let's grab the blue wire and do the same thing. It looks different from the delta winds because of the skipped slots at the start. But after you get away from the start, it begins to look about the same. Carry the blue wire all the way round and hopefully, you end up in the right slot. If it ever seems off and say the slot that you want isn't open. Then look back and you'll probably find that you either skipped one slot, or maybe skipped three. And that's throwing you off. Hopefully you catch it before getting to the end!

    Grab hold of the green wire and do it all again.

    DSC_0018.jpgDSC_0019.jpgDSC_0020.jpg

    Doesn't that look special!

    You'll have to put an insulating sleeve of heat shrink on the "Y connection" to keep it from shorting out against the motor case or other wires.

    And now you should understand what that "lump" with heat shrink on it is, that's in the rear end of all your Y wound motors.

    This is the biggest reason why on some motors, there seems to be a lot of wasted space in the rear end of the case. Especially in some of the delta winds. The manufacture makes a case for lets say a 2Y which will have a lot of wires in each bundle, that makes up the "harness". Like with a NEU or a TP both of which tend to really fill up their motor with wire. Lets say a slot will hold 100plus strands of my wire. I know a 1515 will because I did one of those. So we have 50 strands of wire per bundle (because it's a 2 turn wind). And all three bundles come together and get soldered to make the Y connection. So you see it can be big. And this has to sit atop the pressed windings going through the stator.

    So the mfg. makes a case that can hold all that for the 2Y motor. But then when you put an 8 delta wind in that same case, there is a lot of room left over because now the bundles only have 12 strands apiece, and no Y connection. And they aren't going to make a special case just for the shorter stack of the d winds, all the different winds get the same long case. Some "look" full, and some look, not so full.

    Don - If you don't have enough room in a motor can the "Y" connection be made on the outside? Like the SQUID motor.

    Yes Larry it can.

    A big share of the Industrial motors have been doing that for a long time. They come with the leads for the coils hanging out of the case. And a wiring diagram showing how to wire them in the junction box. Some can be wire for different voltages and either delta or wye.

    I use to make the connection stick straight out of one of the holes, before I made the molds so I could press it down against the windings. Now, I don't know for sure what effect (if any) running the connection say 6 inches outside the case would have on the kv. But I suspect that it would have little to no effect at all. Since electricity travels at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) I think adding a few inches won't matter. I think It would change the resistance because of the longer wire.

    Ya know some rc motors do make the connection on the outside. Some of the lehners, the the skyrc protues https://www.skyrc.com/Power_System/Proteus_x524

    This explains a lot Don. I opened up a baked 1527/.5y last night just to look. First......holy shiznit. That's a lot of crap load O' strands per bundle. I didn't count them but maybe 50? I don't know. It did the junction knot like you just showed for the WYE.

    Fair to say a D wind is less hassle?

    Oh Yes. A Neu is overloaded with copper. Those that think copper doesn't make much difference, need to look in one of those motors. I don't know how they get it all in there. I can't get as much back in them as I take out of em.

    The one I wound had like 104 or 108 strands per slot. Seems like 54 strands per bundle. It was a lot. And the Y connection was a monster with 162 strands in it. And you'll never get as much in them as they do at the factory. I don't know how they do it.

    D is definitely less hassle. Thats why I prefer to do the D winds when I can. When weaving your first leg of coils on the Ys, you have the other two bundles dangling off the stator IN THE WAY getting tangled up from all the turning and twisting you have to do.

    Plus, you dont have to heat the lye up that extra time, and strip the ends to make up the Y connection.

    Don, so......the crazy 3 turn D wind with the CCW/CW pattern is basically the Dynamite 2k. How do we adjust the resulting kv with the turns? Like if I want 1700 or if I wanted 2500? I still have the one that came in at 2900kv. Haven't found a use for that nonsense yet but I'll think of something.

    haha How do it know?

    That is for pulling jacketed wire,
    Like house or industrial installations.
