Meaning I am leaning toward measurement as my problem. The capacitors are creating a neutral as the motor was wired as delta, did not know I could grab a neutral out of the delta.

Measurement. I had to translate the manual from Chinese. Still working on it...

Fluke 18b I will measure the exact speed tonight, have to work now...

Sorry, 4 poles 1800 rpm, running it just a bit faster than that. What is a locked rotor measurement?

Fluke multimeter. Magnets are arranged in 4 rows of 4 . 4 north, 4 south fallowing the original pattern of the rotor. Not a lot of the rotor survived. Each row is made up of 4 1/2” round 1” long magnets. The power meter is a cheap eBay model that is why I have the fluke, neither is measuring any...

Yes, the alternator was electrically connected to the motor , I even added a load to that motor and still I am measuring 0amps, no watts used, yet 140 volts on each leg. I have a meter connected and I have also used my fluke inline and nothing. The capacitors are Cobb-65r 440v standard run...

I made a permanent magnet alternator out of a 3hp 3 phase induction motor. I am getting voltage, but no current at all. The alternator is wired delta and feeds a capacitor bank wired in a wye, to create a neutral. I have even tied the neutral into the alternator and still no current. I connected...
