Generator question

Posted by ffolkes on September 12, 2004 at 07:26:46 from (64.36.123.170):

Hello-

I'm trying to figure out how to correctly wire my BN since the generator was rebuilt, and appears to have been rewired.

First, I don't understand what the relay box does...regulation to prevent overcharging of the battery I'm assuming? But then what's the point of having a H/L switch on the "instrument panel?"

The generator field terminal is connected to a resistor on the field terminal of the relay box. The A terminal of the generator is connected to a terminal underneath the relay box. Next to the field terminal on the relay box are two other terminals that don't have any markings on them. These two terminals were connected to wires that went into the old cloth harness.

As I recall, when the generator was rebuilt a few years ago, it was hooked up in such a way that the switch on the "instrument panel" was excluded from the charging circuit as a quick fix.

I see what should be connected to what, but the "new" relay is confusing me since it has (with pulley facing left) three terminals on the edge, one of which has a resistor on it, and one terminal in the center of the bottom of the box.

The BN manual says to connect the field terminal of the generator directly to the instrument panel switch.

Thanks.
