Default Re: Generator verses Alternator

Is the Alt 6 volt positive or neg? is it one wire, two or three?

The amp meter will be at 0 when the alt is supplying the voltage that the car is using. Any excess will go to the battery, (amp meter showing charge) and more needed will come from the battery (amp meter showing discharge).
