alternator for an international

[Kohburn]

anyone ever used one of these alternators? Wondering how it is wired. the price is right for a 24v 150amp alternator (equivalent output of a 12v 300amp alternator)

I don't know about that one but my local alternator shop said he could get me a one wire 24V alt. for 60-$70.00.

think i found the terminal layout for the alternator

I'm not sure what the "STATOR NEUTRAL TAP" and the "CHG IND TERMINAL" would be used for.

yeah one wire delco units int he 50-60 amp range are about 70$

this is 150amp unit - 3 times the output for only twice the cost.


a bit more google foo turned up that the R terminal labeled as neutral may be an AC current tapped off of one phase of the alternator.

the other terminal is supposed to be a "Lamp terminal (path to ground when alternator is not operating)"

it is a self exciting alternator, just not a grounded case alternator. so essentially it is just a two wire alternator and I would only need to connect the pos and neg terminals.



good news for me because I picked up one of these alternators and a battery voltage equalizer for a total of 285$ . a little custom bracket work and I'll have 3 times the stock power and a reliable 12volt output as well. I'll have to update this thread with pictures as i go.

Please let us know how well it works.

Is that the alternator off of the M-915A3 tractors?
