Re: [FWDLK] Solid State Voltage Regulators for Generators

Here is another tutor the dummy opportunity. With the discussion on polarizing the shoes, screws, etc.; I am confused. In my 56, if I remember right, the case of the generator contains a large and powerful permanent magnet. The poles do not change on a permanent magnet. The field coils, shoes, screws are all in a strong polarized magnetic field already.

It appears that we have not uncovered the science yet. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks, Roger, for the documentation. I am usually to picky, and get easily carried away. When the author says that the “pole shoes” need to be polarized, he is just a little bit off, but like you said, it is “fairly simple.” It is actually the screws that hold the pole shoes in place that are being polarized, since they are steel screws. The Pole Shoes are made of Iron, and will not hold the magnetism, but will strengthen any magnetic field around them. Otherwise, the electrical field that causes them to become magnets and start inducing current flow in the Armature could not be shut off by the regulator.

Here’s a fairly simple explanation of the process and theory:

Also, are you polarizing the regulator when you replace it or hook up a new battery? It only takes a second with a jumper wire.

There is no such thing as “polarizing” a regulator; the part that is being polarized is the generator. It has steel screws to hold the field coils, and while the center coil hold-downs are iron (which is not magnetic), those screws are steel, and they will become the magnets to create the intial energy to get the system working.
