Default Re: Generator Question

The third brush controls the field resistance. Move brush down and more resistance causes an increase the charging amps. Move the brush up and the field resistance is reduced there by decreasing the charge amp rate.
This has to be done manually and I am confused at how the charge rate will automatically drop off after a few minutes. The cut out is only an electro magnetic switch which opens when the generator is not in service; not a voltage regulator. Once the ampere charge rate is set, it can only be changed manually.
