Hi,
I have a 10 - 15 year old 110 vac generator made by Campbell Hausfield . It is powered by a single cylinder 5 hp verticle shaft Briggs engine . It only has four 110 volt plugs in front of it so it is about a 1500 - 3000 watt generator . Do you have to excite the field coils in it like the older gen sets and welders ? I say no . But my electronics genius friend says yes . It worked when I got it , main bolt through center of generator that attaches the insides of generator that spin to motor crank was missing . I replaced the bolt and it worked So my question is do you have to excite the field coils in " newer " model generators and welders ? Thanks for all and any help.
Thanks,
Whizkid
