Default Re: 1928 Powerhouse charging

Mike - I'd like to offer a slight clarification. Adjusting the position of the 3rd brush does indeed change voltage. But that voltage change is to the field coils, not generator output. The increased voltage to the fields increases their magnetic field strength. While there is a slight increase in generator output voltage, this in turn primarily increases the generator's output amperage. which is read on the ammeter.
