I am after a Lancashire Dynamo 1100rpm, 54kva, 230 volt DC, 190 amps for our rail crane at Ruddington Heritage Centre after some thieving bastards stole the copper wound plates out of it!!

Regards

Matt

Have you looked into replacing the copper yet?

Hi Dan, In a word yes. the copper is wound on to plates which are bolted in and as they have taken the lot, we don't know how many coils, wire thickness etc.

Matt

Rewinders can generally work these things out , but they would want you to make the formers .
