When you replace the old cutout relay and light switch controller with a full fledged Voltage Regulator, you no longer wire the Gens Field post to the light switch, ONLY to the new Voltage Regulator's Field terminal. Then it NOT the light switch regulates the net effective Field current and resultant electromagnetic field strength. When doing so I set any third brush generators to the Max charge position.

The full fledged 3 or 4 terminal Voltage Regulator also has its own internal cutout relay so the old 2 wire device is also no longer used.

The generators Field post requires a ground to conduct current, so its just a matter if one uses the older technology only 2 position (dead ground or resistive ground) light switch or a modern voltage regulator which better regulates the field current and resultant electromagnetic field strenght and charge rate. The VR just regulates better and more precise relative to the condition of the battery so the operator doesnt have to choose high or low charge, its done automatically.

Hope this helps explain the difference.

Best wishes n God Bless
