Re: Testing generators
I rigged up a 1 hp - single phase 115v motor and v belt to generator..worked good enough to get what i wanted to know..can just check with volt meter or can hook up battery and amp meter. if you have lots of energy...speed not to important as long as its fast..Mdl "A" up to 1938+_ gens are third brush so the faster they turn the less they put out..never run it in car not hooked up or wire grounded it will burn out..make sure you spin it in correct direction..One time the showed output on the bench but back in car it would not charge, so back on test stand ,I re-polarized it and that done the trick it worked great thereafter..sc
