(snip) Are you seriously suggesting that a 12 volt alternator is made with a diode trio that cannot handle 24 volts? I was under the impression that few silicon rectifiers are made with a breakdown voltage less than 50 volts. They need to be able to handle *at least* double the intended voltage delivery. A 24 V alternator will probably actually deliver 28V (just as today's 12 V alternators are delivering as much as 16V). bob |
