Default Re: Generator wiring

Dan,
You're welcome. The reason I like to use a battery charger to check the field is the twisted connection of the two fields, (as seen in the bottom of the second picture), might be a poor connection, and could show 1.25 ohms resistence through the two windings, but a poor connection isn't likely to carry the full 4 amps at 6 volts.

That connection should be twisted and soldered, not just twisted together.
