(g) If the tests are not conclusive, then submit the faulty unit for
adjustment or repair.
(4) Test stand shutdown. To be certain not to damage the rectifier, the
output voltage must not exceed 32 volts. Turning the field current control (41)
fully CCW will decrease the output voltage and load current at the same time,
thereby preventing damage to the rectifier. When shutting down the test stand,
turning the field rheostat to reduce the field current to zero is the best practice.
(a) Turn the drive speed control (42) fully clockwise (CW).
(b) Stop the varidrive by actuating the stop button (35).
(c) Return all switches to the positions indicated in table 1.
(d) Remove all cables and leads.
(e) Remove the generator from test stand.
6. THE 100-AMPERE SYSTEM. Shown in figure 10 is the 100-ampere alternator kit
which is used to convert lower amperage in vehicles to the 100-ampere capability.
