1
wire, self-exciting, 8 Volt, voltage regulator
This is the voltage regulator you need to turn a standard 10SI, 12SI, or 15SI Delco into a 6 volt, 1 wire, self-exciting alternator. Keep in mind; this will not change the alternator to positive ground only to 8-volt negative ground. Sale includes 1 voltage regulator & the rubber port plug, shown. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Note; A 1 wire configuration IS NOT recommended for
low RPM engines.
The engine must be revved up once at start up to excite the alternator. The RPM
needed to turn the alternator on will depend on the overall condition of the
alternator, How well the rotor and stator are matched to each other, and Pulley
sizes.
Note; This regulator can be used for 1 wire or 3 wire wiring configurations.
Once
the alternator is complete and installed on the vehicle you may need to excite
the alternator for the first time.
HOW TO EXCITE A 1 WIRE ALTERNATOR to excite the One-Wire (Self
Exciting) alternator you run a jumper from the post (positive power) to the #1
spade terminal on the alternator. With the motor running, you momentarily touch
the jumper from the case to the #1 terminal, and then the alternator should start
charging. After you have run the vehicle for a bit at above idle speed the
voltage should build to the regulators set point. You can touch the jumper
between both the #1& #2 terminals. Once you excited the alternator, you
should be able to turn the motor off then restart and rev the motor and the
alternator will start charging.

you have any questions, feel free to ask.
