Fun OT stuff there Mayor Bob.... I figure the reason lay persons believe the old wives tale you have to Polarize a Voltage Regulator (NOT the Genny which is actually what needs Polarized) is because when you buy a Voltage Regulator it contains instructions for Polarization and why are those in there?? Because if the genny isnt correctly polarized you can trash that brand new VR.
I like the one where a dude (one of those know it all types) told me (retired electrical distribution engineer) the Utility company can "turn up" a utility transformer TO PUT OUT MORE "JUICE" I tried to explain to him transformers do indeed have higher and lower voltage tap adjustments to raise or lower voltage say like 2 1/2% or 5 % etc BUT HE SAID NOOOOOOOOO THATS NOT TRUE BUT THEY CAN SET THEM TO PUT OUT MORE JUICE I never dared ask him to explain the term JUICE lol

Think I'll have breakfast now, maybe drink some orange JUICE lol
