[SEL] Generator hookup

[Jim Dragoset]

Rick,
The twelve volt external excitation may just give you the voltage you're
looking for.
Keep in mind that a given DC generator voltage output is proportional to
both
field current and RPM's.

Thanks Jim..that was very helpful.  I understand what you're talking about.

  As 250VDC is a very undesirable voltage, can I not hookup..say a 24vdc
carbon pile regulator and get the output down to a decent regulated 24vdc.
  Just possibly the control panel for this gal is still up at the silver
mine, which would be the ultimate.

  Another oddity about the generator is that the brushes do NOT have any
braided wire attached to them.  Personally I don't like this and hopefully
can replace them.

  It would look and perform better with 8 brushes and holders..will look
into fabriating 4 more.

  I also think I know who's got a megger.

Thanks much for the reply
RickinMt.
