Socalcasedog Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 AKheathen..... I had figured it out. I upgraded to a 250w stator. The rec has 4 wires( ground, 2 inputs from stator and power out) I put the quad aside for a few. Gotta make mounts and brackets for everyrhing now. I re-loomed the harness after eliminated all the bs safety wiring and ran everything through heat shrink. I seperated the lighting and pwr into seperate harnesses. Took the time and took the plugs off the wires to cover them as well. Looks soooooo clean now lol. sounds even better with +4. Figuered ikl repack the silencers while I got it apart too. Getting antsy to ride now lol Quote
ionroller Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 why is there 2 wires going to the rectifier? Im about to upgrade my shee too and need some info? Quote
AKheathen Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 because the stator is ac, not dc, so there is no +/-. you have to float the ground, which means you remove where it attatches to the stator frame and add a 2nd wire to put to the rectifier. the rectifier, is just a bunch of diodes that let the ac current only go one way like a check valve, and so, you get a bunch of single direction power. o.p.- i assumed you had a standard 250watt, which usually comes with 2 outputs, not just one, so you would end up with 3 wires after floating. my bad.

Socalcasedog Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 the company builds a 2nd wire into there system just as an added option. If you just ran the stock AC system you would only run one of the 2 wires to your regulator. The second wired gives you the option to add more lights. Im upgrading to some 4" HID lights so I had replace the regulator with the companies rectifier. I dont have to run both stator outputs but Im gonna kinds like a piggy back set up. Think we paid only $250 or so for the stator an recifier. Its a small company but Ive heard good things bout them. I went to get it in person and when I told them my plan the even floated the ground for me while I waited for free. Quote

AKheathen Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 lol, so yes, you have a dual output, just like all the other 250watt stators on the market. 1 output is 100 watts, and the other is 150. just keep that in mind when adding on- one will see a nominal 75watts, and the other 100-115 watts, then the rectifier losses of about 5-10 watts. if you come to the point of needing to tap into the other output, you are going to have to parallel another rectifier, and tap into the floated ground output.
