Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and happened upon this site when trying to find the answer to this question:
How much torque, in Nm, is required to turn a variety of alternator sizes? Say from 5Kw to 50Kw? Is there any kind of rule or formula I can apply? For arguments sake, 50Hz, brushless, three phase. The kind you'd use to generate household power.
I'm trying to build a micro-hydro project and have some ideas, done the maths so I know how much torque I have, but I need to know how much I can do with it. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks guys.
Great site, glad I found it. Keep up the good work.
