Dynamo polarisation
If you are talking about a true DYNAMO with two
tappings that being the D terminal which is the out put and an F
terminal which is the Field windings then it is very simple, you do it
by "FLASHING" the Field winding to the none earth terminal of the
battery.
So first thing to do is Disconnect the battery fit the dynamo and ensure
the casing is properly earthed to the chassis or frame of the vehicle.
Do not connect the terminals and ensure the Regulator is isolated from
the vehicles wiring system.
Reconnect the battery to the circuit.
Now using a length of insulated wire with the ends bared, first attach
one end to the None earthed Terminal of the battery and then "TOUCH" or
FLASH the other bare end onto the F or FIELD winding on the dynamo you
should see a small spark and the dynamo will "SHUNT" slightly. do this
three or four times
Disconnect the wire and then the earth terminal of the battery. Connect
the Dynamo to the regulator and ensure the regulator is properly
connected. the Reinstate the battery connections: start and gently rev
and ensure the charge warning light goes out or that the output from the
regulator and the dynamo are within boundaries
SO for +ive earth setups you flash from the negative terminal to the
field winding
for -ive earth set ups you flash from the positive terminal to the field
winding.
PS on the back of the dynamo the larger terminal is the D or output. and
the smaller is the F or Field winding
