Re: 1937 Voltage Current Regulator Voltage Draw

Thanks. Yes, I do know they are relays and not solenoids and I cannot tell you why I named them as such. I went back into the archives and looked at the service manual. Their illustration of the connection of the regulator is exactly how I had it connected, thus causing the power draw. Well, at least, I think that was the correct connection. It looks like from the illustration that pole B attaches to the battery and then that routes back through ground to the positive side of the battery, thus causing the relay to close. Do you know if the highly insulated relay coil is supposed to be the pole labeled B, from the battery, or pole F, the field input from the generator? From what I have been told, this is the input that allows the relay to close thus allowing the regulator to do its job.
Thanks again for your help.
