RR24 redux

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
Got no answer about using a RR24 for reg/rec so nobody has used one or I've been sent to Coventry? Anyway the mail was about my dodgy charging circuit so I got a bit more scientific - I think.
Put a 75mV 75A shunt connecting battery +ve terminal to loom +ve cable. Read -3.4A (-3.4mV on digi meter) [12.11V] with just ignition on. At 1k rpm, -5A [12.03V] and only started going positive at 3.5k and showing 2.2A [12.37V] at 6k.
So sounds like a lotta leakage or something somewhere and it reads nothing like the shop manual charging characteristics (page 106 in my downloaded pdf). But perhaps that is an ideal circuit.
I have also checked the various values; field/stator coil resistance/connectivity etc as per manual and they seem to be within spec, apart from what looks like one funny continuity direction reading on the rectifier bridge;-)
Could go with a new reg/rec but perhaps I need to do more - any suggestions; like new loom? Add relays; Or whatever.
Thanks
Andrew

Bryanj:
Only going positive at over 3K is normal, not a clue about the other readings, all i ever use is voltage

Trigger:
I have no clue what you are on about. Try Lobo, he knows about electrics. Coventry? wheres that.

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Like Bryan says talk volts not Millie volts and amps don't over complicate it.
Cheers
Bitsa

Trigger:
Sorry, forgot about Bitsa, he can change a fuse ;) ;) ;)
