I suspect they may have isolated phases much like what you would have if you took a standard 3 phase stator and R/R and instead installed 3 single phase stators and 3 single phase R/R's. Just guessing though. Either way, there has to be some provision to keep the voltage regulators in equilibrium with each other.

Testing for a key-off current draw
If your battery and charging system check out okay, you may have an "draw" somewhere in the electrics which is taking current from the battery even though the key is off. An aftermarket addition (such as an electric clock or stereo with programmable radio stations) will have to have current going to them to be functional.
To check for a current draw, you need a good voltmeter (the little "multimeters" usually don't have the correct settings). Unbolt the ground cable from the battery and hook up the voltmeter's positive lead to the battery and negative lead to the ground cable. If there's a draw in the system, you'll get a voltage reading. If that's the case, remove one fuse at a time. If the reading drops to zero when you pull a fuse, that will give you a clue where to look for a possible draw. If it DOESN'T go to zero when you pull fuses, there's a draw between the battery and the fuse box.
Good luck....sometimes chasing these little "ghosts" can be like trying to nail jello to a tree!
