John M - The "ground the field, spin the armature and read the voltage" test is crude at best. Actual open circuit output voltage will vary with nameplate voltage rating, generator model, armature RPM and even ambient temperature. (FWIW I've had known good 6 volt generators show anywhere from 18 to 30+ volts output using this test.)

Regard it rather as a screening, or "go/no go" test for an unknown generator!
