Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 7:52 pm Post subject: Testing SD-8 Circuit

I searched, but could not find the answer.  I'm all wired and ready to close the open access that I have to all my SD-8 circuit wiring.  I'm following Z-13 and would really like to test this standby alternator circuit before it becomes difficult to repair, replace or modify.  Is there anything wrong with me hooking up a battery on a small charger into the leads that are normally fed from the SD-8 regulator to test the relay and associated wiring?  I believe the battery on a charger would act like the SD-8/regulator combination.  Or is there another way to accomplish this task that I'm overlooking?



Thanks



Rocky

   Hmmmm . . . this system is exceedingly simple.

   If you are confident of your wiring, then it will

   work as advertised. "Chargers" used to be coarse

   substitutes for power supplies but recent shifts

   to include battery charging and maintaining

   electronics make their performance as power

   supplies uncertain.



   A electronics-bench power supply would be a sure

   bet . . . but I'm not convinced that it's a good

   use of your $time$.

Thanks Bob,

I think I'll just close it up.
