I just did a calculation of the total Watts it would use if all would be turned on, horn blowing, hazard flashing etc and got : 22.4 amps and 268.8 watts.

My question is if the stator is powerful enough to supply 22/23 amps?

Thank you
 
You planning on running around full time with all those electrical devices running?

I don't think so Ed.


If you look at the plot here it says that the stator is capable of supporting 26 amps before saturating. This has more to do with the magnetics of the rotor. So it suggests that it might be possible to get that much current out of the stator although it is not known what the voltage would be.Point is a PMA should put out power that increase to the square of the RPM. It is the stator current that is the limit. So a definite maybe at supplying 23 amps. It is only prudent engineering practice to reserve judgement until a more conclusive test is performed.

Thank you for you input & info!

In case you wanted to know, I'm trashing all the wiring and putting new wiring on my GS. I dont feel like %$^& around trying to find the crappy connections , they are all crappy, old, oxidized burnt, rotten, hard, brittle etc.

I might post my final solution and the build list once I'm done.

I did the same and came up with the sspt.
 
When I was comparing the series to shunt R/R last year, I measured a stator leg current of 11 amps with 14.2 volts to battery at 4k rpm (probably about saturation point)
since P= 1.73 I V, you get 270.226 watts- power to spare !
