Title: 1932 Cad/Las generator
Post by: Las32 on May 07, 2025, 01:06:40 PM
Does anyone know how the Thermal Resistors are electrically connected to the field?  Some say that they are in parallel which, as an electrical engineer, I vehimently disagree - otherwise they would represent a nearly short circuit across the field hence not allowing the voltage to increase.  But exactly how and where in the casing is the connection(s) made?  Also, does anyone know the value in Ohms of this resistor and the composition material?

Hi please find a picture of the fit, no resistance present

Hi again, just remembered I had a new one in stock, reading .002 Ohm
