    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can a 3 phase rectifier/regulator work with a 1 phase stator?

Ive got a question for the electrical gurus out there.

Ive got an old Polaris that uses a single phase stator and a little plastic rectifier/regulator with no cooling fins or anything. The r/r's are known for quitting without any warning and usually at pretty inconvenient times (this weekend, about 2 miles from the cabin in 36 degrees and light rain) and its my 3rd one over the years. I've got a few r/r's Ive collected over the years from ATV's and bikes but they are all 3 Phase, but they have nice cooling fins and should be more reliable.

So to my question, is there any way to reliably convert 3 phase r/r to use with a 1 phase stator? And if so, how?


Thanks!
 
Just connect the two single phase stator wires leaving the one open(on r/r).
thd other way just get s compufire single phase r/r ; they ard all over eBay.
