40/50 SHUNT DYNAMO AND C.A.V. REGULATOR FOR BENSPORT CHASSIS.

The specification of the winding quantities of the 40/50 dynamo for the above chassis is as follows:-

No. of field turns per pole - 234.
Wire used - 20 SWG. D.C.C. Superfine.
Brush angle - 14º.
Field resistance on regulator unit 15 ohms approx. made up with 26 SWG. Eureka (bare) wire.

No. of armature conductors per slot - 16.
Wire used - 16 S.W.G. D.C.C. Superfine.

The specification to which the C.A.V. regulators should be ordered is as follows:-

Open circuit operating voltage (cold) 15 to 15.5 volts.
Current operation at 13 volts (cold) 14.0 to 14.5 amperes.
