Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Hi

I purchased a Jacobs 20kw. I am all ready to go except for one part.

I need the internal 'exciter winding' for the Jacobs 20kw Generator. This winding is about the size of a dinner plate and about 2inches thick - have a look at the attached picture. Would you happen to know where I might get this part or would you know of anyone that might have the necessary equipment to re-wind this part, thanks?

I have exhausted a lot of avenues over the last week to find a replacement or repair, so any pointers would be really appreciated.

If you happen to have this part in an old machine, I would gladly purchase it from you and take care of the courier expenses.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,

Seamus

I don’t know of any 20kw parts and rarely see them on the market. Someone in Spain contacted me a about 10 years wanting to sell me a dozen of them brand new, never used and I recall seeing one on eBay several years ago so they’re out there. You might try some of the wind generator groups on facebook.

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. I'll try that.

With kind regards

Seamus
