Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:24 am Post subject: Rectifier Install and Generator Output |
|
|
I just installed a full wave bridge rectifier on my 6 Volt Pos ground 9N. I hooked the negative terminal to the generator and one of the AC terminals to the battery as described on earlier posts (thanks!) I am getting a reasonable charge rate measured at the battery. I then checked the generator output by having the red prove on battery ground and then touching the black probe on my digital multimeter to the one wire 3 brush generator output. At idle i get 10-11 volts and up to 20 volts at higher RPMs. I was expecting something more like 7-8 volts max, although I have to admit that I didn't check it with the original cut out. Suggestions? |

Suggestions? | Bogus reading of the digital meter in an electrically noisy environment. Analog meter needed. A better reading at battery because battery acts like a BIG filter capacitor. |

I will see if I can borrow an analog one or maybe pick one up. If I am seeing the voltage at the battery increase from 5.7 to 6.7 or so with the engine running, is it likely that there is anything wrong generator wise? |

If battery begins to overcharge, remember that you have the HI/LO adjust on rear of generator to back it off. |
