A good quality voltage regulator??

[rotorwrench]

That one is listed at 60-amps.

And it´s about 25% bigger then a "normal" regulator...i have the complete generator and regulator here if anyone is building a firetruck or police radio command central

Ah... I didn't see that. Being an electrical dumbass, does it matter if it's rated for more?

It will burn out your generator pushing it harder then it was designed for...it overheats.
Amps maximum can be adjusted inside but if it´s what i think...it is also bigger in size...

Thanks for the responses much appreciated. I got one from Fred barnfind08 . It’s NOS it came in the box with the original paper , bolts and ground cable . Really nice piece. Question for you guy mine has a paper wound tightly around one of the coils . It doesn’t move and from the instructions is supposed to be there. Does anyone know what it is for? Insulation possibly?

More insulation/protection....Play like you don't see it....

That´s the voltage regulation and has a very thin wire compared to the others...so besides being a mechanical protection for the wire you have temperature compensation for the charging voltage to...short version...it works has a reason for being there don´t mess with it !

You got it.. won’t touch it. Just curious as to it’s function . Thanks for the reply

The use of treated paper was common as an electrical insulator. The pole coils can have magnetic attraction and could draw small ferrous particles so the cover cap and paper insulation helps to prevent that.

The old Model A power house generators had a lot of paper in them due to the number of coils in the field.

Thanks for the insight . Great info about stuff I had no idea but it makes sense
