Good job on the PMG.
I was expecting something more typical of ST generators which usually have a flimsy box with a plastic or fiber board with evenly spaced studs sticking up out of the board to configure with straps. The pictures are of the rectifier that makes dc voltage to magnify the field, it looks like there is a terminal block, that's probably where the stator wires go. Its hard to say with those pictures.
I thought the stator wires were coming up out of the generator to the (what looks like the rectifier) Glisten-rectifier2.jpg , I think shows them coming out of the generator??? the screw block on the far side with the red wires, I think, is just a juction for the output wires as they actually just cross back over to the output terminal block.
Oh and thanks for the "Good job on the PMG" much appreciated.
I think I would have built this a lot different but I'm no electrical guy... just seems cluttered to me, but what do I know?
Do you think those 4 wires coming out of the gen by the rect are the stator wires
ADD ON >>> I just came in from further checking and pulled the variable resistor and cover off to look inside at the wires going up thru the gen body and noticed on the opposite side on the screen (on the opposite side of the commutator from the variable resistor) is are two pieces that look like bakelite or similar with a mass of diodes mounted between them??? This is a 2 phase / 1800rpm / 4Kva gen it has 4 brushes and I see 5 wires actually coming thru the gen body to the rectifier I took the pics of.
I'm at a loss, with 5 wires coming thru does that mean it's center tapped?

P.S. If anyone out there has any idea where I could find a schematic for this it would really be appreciated. I've looked and looked to now avail... TIA
