Generator 101?

Question

I am the guy that asked the generator question. Would like to learn more. I have the power coming from the regulator and have wired it to the light and the light will not come on. Good light and bulb. I am running the generator at 1725 rpm. I am experimenting and have alot of questions. Who can I email to.

Answer 1

If this is a boat, you need to run a neutral wire as well.  

Check that the breaker or fuse is on or working.

if this still doesnt work, then run a test circuit using a plug/romex wiring of the correct size directly from the generator to the light.  this will tell you if its somewhere in your onboard wiring or not.
