I have a 1947 2-n that has the 3-brush generator on it. Its been working ok for 40 years. Last fall I ordered a Funprojects Voltage regulator/cutout for it. It seems to work fine. My question is; How does it work, does anyone know? Does it Dump the extra current into a ground, say through a resistor? Does it let part of the output through to the battery through a resistor? I understand how a "normal" voltage regulator works, but just wanted to know. My local rebuilder here has never seen one and had no idea how it worked. My tractor runs and starts so well on 6-volt, I am glad I didn't change over to 12.

Jonesy..... ....The "Fun Projects" 2-terminal solid state cut-out relay replacement performs 2-tasks.

1) Disconnects the battery from the generator when the engine stops turning the genny with blocking diode scheme. This is all the roundcan cut-out relay does.

2) Regulates the battery charging with a voltage sensitive "chopper" that connects the 1-wire 3rd-brush 11 amp genny output in short bursts of charge/no-charge depending upon the battery voltage. It doesn't dump the genny output to ground, just electronically disconnects it.

It works, and you the operator don't haffta keep adjusting yer 3rd-brush output depending upon wheather yer headlights are on or not. Ya justs adjusts yer 3rd-brush for MAX output and letts the chopper control the battery charge.

The 3rd-brush actually adjusts the genny's field current for stronger/weaker magnetic field for more/less EMF. Thats a technical term for Electrical Magnetic Field. Yer typical 3 or 4 terminal squarecan voltage regulates the genny field's magnetic strength by a buzzing/vibrating relay (chopper)..... ..HTH, Dell (EE)

Ditto what Dell said.

Look a few posts down, under my post about electrical opinions. Me, J/C and a few others are discussing electronic regulators, and electronic field controls'.. Might give you some ideas.

If you are an electronics person, I would be thinking along the lines of series pass regulator, and large rectifier for a cutout on that single wire unit.. If that didn't make sense to you.. then the post I placed a few messages back about electronics opinions probably won't make you happy either.
