i have a few questions about inductance measurements. Since I do not have a signal generator I used my variac. I am measuring inductance of windings of my permanent magnet generator. I placed a 2 ohm resistor in series with two of the output lines of the generator.
1. Is it absolutely necessary to use a signal generator.
2. The generator is wye connected and I am measuring voltage across windings at the output. Would this be considered two inductors in series since it is wye connected. Is it necessary that I measure voltage across the two individual windings.
3. There are 3 magnets on the rotor. Does this influence the inductance measurement. Should I have removed it or left it in since that is how it would be in the circuit.
