<p>CIRCUITRY FOR TESTING GENERATOR OUTPUT This invention relates to a circuitry for easily and quickly testing the output current capacity of a generator by connecting the generator as a controlled current source, applying to the generator's field to the rated output voltage of the generator's field terminals an independent voltage proportioned relative to the rated output voltage of the generator, connecting an ammeter across the output terminals of the generator, the ammeter reading being calibrated to be equal to the reciprocal of the proportioned voltage, thus providing a direct reading of output current capacity representing the full output capacity of the generator. This circuitry greatly reduces the size and cost of a holding fixture and related components to make possible a low cost generator tester.</p> |
