Default Re: 3 brush generator ????

With the 3 brush stock generator/ cutout the charging voltage will be whatever voltage the battery ends up at for the amperage the generator is charging
A reley cutout turns "on" at the voltage it is set at
A diode cutout turns"on" whenever the generator voltage is about 1/2 volt more than the battery
I have never gotten a good explanation about how the "fun projects "regulator works---- I think it just shunts the excess to ground, given how it is connected
