Volt

[u.cremer]

Hello, I have another question.
I have a 28 'Ford A with 6Volt system, all original.
In the state of running the generator but wavering about 9.8 to 10.8 volts.
It will burn out all the bulbs.
How much is ok?

Sorry please, translator

6.6 Volts is all you should have with a 6 volt system. Much more than that will blow out bulbs. Where are you measuring the 9.8 to 10.8 volts?

You also need to use an analog meter to get a good reading.

Hi,
Its a Digital Multimeter, and i remeasure after the relay
I hope it is translated correctly

Try using an "analog" meter or one with a pointer and scale. The digital meters can be sensitive to rf noise on the generator output and give an incorrect answer.

The analog meters work better because the mechanical pointer "damps" the noise out from the DC reading.

Here you go. Every Model A owner should have at least a basic analog DC volt meter, and they don't come much cheaper than this. If you have a bad connection in the charging circuit, or if the battery is too weak or small, then the generator will put out too high a voltage, unless you use an electronic voltage regulator, as I do.

I threw mine into a cheap wooden box from a craft store.
