Default Re: Generator charging revisited

Another option is to add a capacitor across the DVM leads. A condensor normally used for the ignition can be used. If you use another capacitor make sure it is installed correctly. An electronic capacitor will have a negative and positive side. You can just leave it installed if you want because it will eliminate most electrical noise coming out of your generator. You may be able to hide it inside the cutout or you can just install it anywhere, like inside the instrument panel. Just connect the capacitor between the lead coming from the generator to ground.
