My set has been modified enough to the point where it's automatic. Power goes out for only about 8 seconds. I used a slc 500 plc to control it. My speed control is a throttle servo driven from 2 outputs, the speed is monitored by output frequency from a hz to 4-20ma converter to an analog input...
I believe the 002 and 003 has a mechanical governor. Well. More of a compensator.
I dont mind helping others with similar projects, the parts can get pricy though.

Yes. And my 004 is governor controlled (ok. I do controls for a living and was left unsupervised, but hey it's really really cool!)

It's how you retap a 12 lead wye head to single phase 120/240 split phase. If you draw the windings out it looks like a zig zagging line

I have a 004 at home and it's overkill. I did the zig zag conversion to it and last load banking it ran 72 amps for 4 hours.

Bigger things aren't really made for single phase but some of the older ones can be modified are sure you need something that large?

If you are using this on a voltage higher than 32v you can use an eaton BK/ABC-30-R. it is of similar ratings where it counts. It does have a better interrupt rating (how much fault current it can stop before exploding)
search on mouser for item 504-BK/ABC-30-R

I never tried the 003 on my home, but in my shop it doesn't like my air compressor. There are typically 2 things that set off a breaker, thermal and magnetic. Thermal is for the long overloads and magnetic is for the sudden shorts. Problem there is motors can draw up to 10x their current on...
Yes that can make minor adjustments. Use a multimeter to get an accurate reading. Be advised that the factory frequency meters are not the most robust

Puller is probably preferred
Digikey or newark is a good place to look
Might be worth looking at the possibility of replacing the bearing while it's apart.

Typically they produce 28vdc and 120 400hz. Aircraft use the high frequency because motors and transformers can be smaller and lighter

If you have money to blow there is ways to make 60 hz power. Or any non rotating things should work (resistive heat lights etc. No motors)
