    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Quite the impressive stench of burnt resins ensued.
This was a unit that passed diode tests but it was outputting a mid 12 vdc

Damn what makes for a low VDC output? Just a regulator goin bad?
Bike runs fine since off the battery. Blew a fuse when this thing went.

Compu-fire beckons.
 
Hey JEEP, y'all weren't supposed to plug those leads into the 240v outlet at home to test it......:D:D

Mmm toasty

Low stator output and/or over regulation make for low output. I'm sure some wise guy could add in some detailed failures like shorted diodes but it still boils down to the two mentioned basic situations.

Of course not, that's only 240v 2-phase, your supposed to use 460v 3-phase but most of ya'll ain't got that at home. :D
 
\yeah did the stator tests and the AC output is 75 VAC at 5000 RPM
I may gold plate it and use it as a key fob.
