[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 124270, member: 2708"] Not sure which alternator b'knighted has, but I had the same concern about operating an Alton open circuit, as in burned fuse. Here is Paul Hamons answer. I kept the fuse in the Alternator output line. "Your statement that « work being done whether a load is connected or not, so heat is produced » is wrong from my point of view. A permanent magnet generator produces [U]nothing[/U] when it is open. No current therefore no heat. The only « work » is to face the cogging effect of the permanent magnets but it is a low and purely mechanical load. Moreover it has no direct heating effect on coils. This is basically why and how the switch type regulators such as SHINDENGEN SH775 are done. When you rev up the engine, they open the generator circuit to limit the voltage to the battery. In opposition « shunt » (shorting) type regulators (the most common) shunt the circuit and regulate voltage that way (voltage drops down then) and « rewire » it normally to reach the requested charge voltage.
