Bob and others,



I have the regulator that is described in the following data sheet.



http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Regulators/Transpo/V1200_Transpo.pdf



It is a little difficult to tell from the picture, but the connection 

tabs are labeled like this left to right and top to bottom:

F S A I



Stator Output



B-



This regulator is a replacement for a stock Ford regulator, however, I 

do not think that it is grounded though the case.  The case is heavily 

anodized aluminum and would be very difficult to make a good connection.



I have the F connected to the alternator field, the A connected to the 

5A circuit breaker, the A and S are jumpered together.

I have no idea what to do with the tab labeled "Stator Output" or the 

tab labeled "B-".  I suspect that the "B-" is the ground, but not certain.

The only instruction that comes with the unit is a sheet of paper that 

says not to over torque the mounting screws.

I have tried the internet and all I find is the pdf file above.  I have 

  tried calling Transpo tech support, but they will not call me back.



Does anyone understand regulators well enough to help me out here?



By the way, Bob, thanks for the quick assistance on my diode questions.



Bill B

   Looking over Transpo's product line, they have a common

   thread that runs through their labeling system where B- is

   the same as "case ground".

   Hmmmm  . . . if I recall correctly, the original mechanical Ford

   regulators attached the "S" terminal to the stator center tap. When

   later alternator eliminated that feature, S and A were tied together.

   I don't know what that "stator output" might be unless it's analogous

   to the later regulator topologies that watch for stator AC output

   (shaft is spinning) to activate the regulator.

   Too bad. They have a very wide range of products and as far

   as I know, a reasonably clean reputation for quality and

   performance. As soon as I get my drive stand running (the

   phase converter arrived yesterday), I could run some tests

   on your regulator and see what it takes to wake it up.
