what's the condenser for on a mechanical voltage regulator?

The points themselves and the > wiring have some capacitance but it needs more. It works at a lower voltage because the inductive field has to collapse very quickly to give highest voltage.

I am well aware that you will get a ringing waveform when the field collapses. > No they won't they will last forever because the engine won't run. I have never tried it, actually, but concede that if it should start at all, it wouldnt run for long. Have you actually ever tried this? |
