Green95LX Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I want to convert over to DC, so far I've taken the lighting side ground off the stator plate and added wire. Now, I have a Regulator/Rectifier that came off a seadoo. It has 3 yellow wires and a red wire on it. Should I just hook the yellow wire off the stator and my floated ground to yellow wires, then the red would be my 12v+? I believe they ground off the case, so would i just run a ground from there and that be my 12v-? http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/images/10-W005.jpg Pic of the regicide I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green95LX Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 anyone ever messed with one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Monkey Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sounds like you have a 3 phase regulator.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green95LX Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sounds like you have a 3 phase regulator.... Would it work for my application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Monkey Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Simply... no. You need a single phase regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Monkey Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 That looks like a single stage rectifier, but looks like the yellow wire by the red should be black. A three phase would have have 3 yellow, black and a red. ^^^He's right. I just looked at the pic... pretty strange they'd do it like that! Looks like the same rectifier I'm using... aside from the yellow wire next to the red. Kinda threw me off saying it grounded through the casing...

Green95LX Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well the rectifier I have at the house most definitely has 3 yellow wires and one red wire. I've also got another rectifier off a seadoo but it has two yellow, a black and a red. It would be the better one to use in this application?

Green95LX Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Maybe my rectifier is bad, but my test light works when i touch the two leads off the stator (yellow/floated ground) but when i hook them to the rectifier i get nothing.

Green95LX Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Am i supposed to hook the floated ground wire to a yellow wire, and the black wire on the rectifier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Trailtech regulator is the way to go here. i went through a few off random bikes with dismal results. Normally the stator gets hooked to 2 yellow wires on the regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green95LX Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Damn, i guess i just wanted to see it work. Two wires from the stator hooked to the two yellow on the reg touch the black/red on the reg and i get nothing hooked the black wire to the frame, also nothing There's definitely AC output off the lighting coil, because it'll light up my headlights. I guess i'll order a TT reg/rec and try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
