Anyone have an alternate E-mail contact for Iraggi Alternators, aside from their E-bay contact? I sent them a message last week and got nothing back, this is the only reason I ask. Also, does anyone know if their 240 amp alts are internally regulated, or do you need external regulators? It would seem to me to be a breakthrough if they were internally regulated, I was under the impression (possibly under false pretenses) that anything over 200 amps needed external regulation, but again, I could be wrong......... thanks for everything guys!!!!

Yah, I'll be here for a while. I've found myself going between this, CAF, and the SS forum, because the traffic ain't enough. So I just go to all three. :)Waldodamon wrote:Hey Doo! Good to see you here man! Luckily this forum is moderated and one of the mods is Ryanfromohio. He's a good filter for transition from CAF to here, keeps the riff-raff out, let's the good people in!

PS with large high output alternators, you usually get external regulation for two reasons.
size constraints in the casing for the larger windings, and cooling issues.
external regulators can have very large heat sinks.

Well, tardo here (that's me) doesn't know the first thing about hooking up an alternator with external regulation. I can swap an alty no prob, hell I can even put two alts in and take out an AC pump/pulley to accomplish that feat, but again, all using internal regulation.GlassWolf wrote:PS with large high output alternators, you usually get external regulation for two reasons.

So, that brings me to the question, how much of a task would it be, and what is involved installing an alty with external regulation?
