Ernest, The perm.mag. ALTERNATOR is an alternator. It doesn't use brushes and a commutator. There are/were excited field generators as well. The PM alternator uses a y winding and a diode grid to output dc just like a excited winding alt. Our system should put out charging voltage at or very close to idle. Bill
I'll be easy to get along with. For all I care, we can call it a yellow daisy at this point. I just want one 8*)
My premise may be way off, but isn't the open lead output voltage linear with RPM? So my thinking goes, if you get charging voltage at idle of 1000, it will be 6 times higher (over 70V) at a cruise RPM of 6000. I'm sure the electronics can be designed to handle that, but how safely and robustly, and how much protection will the wire need. If the system didn't get to charging voltage until, let's say, 3000RPM, then at cruise you have less than 30V on the line*, which is still considered to be low voltage.
*Notice, I resist the urge to call the output line a B-lead. 8*)
