Alternator charging delay?

Does anyone know of a place to get schematics for a alternator. I'm assuming they are pretty simple and I'm showing my,,,, ingorance on the subject. however, I've read some posts where they talked about exciter circuits etc and that's new to me. I'm the curious type and would like to better understand what they are talking about.

Thanks,

Roger.

The alternator does not start charging until about 800-1000 engine rpms. If you start the tractor, and keep the rpms low, you won't see the charge.

Thanks for the feedback. Schematics made sense and I'll bet it is the RPM's being low that's my issue. I'll find out tonight.

Does it come on before you advance the throttle?

Mine usually needs at least 1/4 throttle before it will start. If it's really cold it will sometimes take more time and throttle.
