Ford V8 generator- self exciting?
I want to mount my generator on my engine and run the engine with the belts on to bed in the water pumps. Without the charging circuit connected (at this stage).
Is the generator self exciting or does it need a sense current/wire?
If it is self exciting I have problems, but if it requires a sense current then I may be able to get away with this without having to wire up the charging side of things.
Please help.....
