dc conversion with rectifier problem?

[coryv4]

i just did the dc conversion like trail techs diagram says and made sure nothing was touching. i am trying to hook up a regulator to charge a battery. i hooked the regulator up and took a voltage meter and i am getting no power from the reg.

So I take it you floated the ground on the stator? Did you also try adjusting the voltage out put?

 

This is how I set up mine.

It's not rocket science.Magnets go by coil of wire. Coil of wire makes AC current. AC current goes into rectifier and comes out DC current. Make sure the stator ohms out correctly and is not shorted to ground. Make sure red DC wire isn't shorted to ground. You have your meter set to DC volts, right?

in your diagram i didnt see where the floted ground is?

serious?

 

 

one end of the lighting coil comes out as the yellow wire, the other end is soldered to the frame of the stator, you need to find his end and unsolder it from the frame then solder a wire to it. that wire and the previously mentioned yellow wire get connected to the 2 yellow wires of the regulator.

 

THEN if you actually read the instructions, you will need to decide how you need to hook up the other wires based on the battery you choose to use. this matters to keep from under or overcharging the battery.

if thats the case i have it wired exactly as stated and i am getting no power from the regulator

Ok in my diagram the second yellow wire is the lighting wire that was unsolder wire from the frame of the stator.

 

Then if you have it wired right. you need to test you stator lighting side. If this test good then on to your reg test/ power in to reg. Are you using this reg: http://www.trailtech.net/7004-RR150.html

if so did you try to adjust the out put setting?

im not using a trailtech regulator i am using a brp reg of a sled that was known to work on a banshee ignition.
