'A' or 'B' circuit generator?

Excellent! Now...which one does the Cessna have?

Jim



Is the generator a Delco?

Post the part number & I'll look it up

Well Paul, The Cessna/Continental part # is listed as 534111 and
Delco-Remy as 1101890. That is for the stock 20 amp generator. Mine was
replaced with a 30 amp about 40+ years ago and I can't read the number
in the log book. However, I have every reason to believe that if it was
an "A" it would have been replaced with an "A" and B for B. Any help
would be appreciated.

1101890 is an "A" type circuit.

Hello,

I have a problem, related to this topic:

I have an 1101890 generator but I don't have an original regulator for it.
Because in my country (Romania) this things are very rare I intend to adapt a car regulator.
Unfortunately I don't find a regulator for "A type" generators, just for "B type".

I have two possibilities (in my mind):
1. to switch the field's coil to ground, inside generator, making it a B type
2. to modify the regulator to provide "ground" instead "voltage" on the F pin
in attachment, the regulator's schematic BEFORE and AFTER
I suppose will work.


what should I try? 1 or 2?

I know, the best variant is to buy an original regulator, and I'll do it... but until then...

Regards,
Seb
