Kubota/Denso alternator
Is anybody running one of these alternators, just got one for my rush and was wanting to double check how the wiring would go. Its got a 3 pin plug on
the rear with the terminals marked P, IG and L. Also there is an additional terminal marked b.
cheers in advance

Why would you need a diode on the light??? Can't seem to get my head round that one?
I know you can't use an LED as an alternator lamp which is a Diode?

I would guess this is to stop current flow from battery via lamp into the alternator, overtiem this would drain the battery.

coredevelopments - a wiring diagram would be handy.
Thanks

But the lamp comes from a switched supply, so with ignition off the lamp will (should!) have 0 volts on the switched side.
If a diode was connected to prevent current in this direction, the ignition warning lamp wouldn't work at all.
The only reason I can think I diode would be needed is if for some reason there is leakage between the permanent live and the L termina with ignition
switched off, so current could flow from alternator, through bulb and into the ignition supply (which would be at 0v). Shouldn't normally be
required though.

Can I get away with using just using the terminals for the battery/starter and for lamp.
Also is there a way of testing the alternator before I go to all the hassle of making a engine bracket only to find it doesnt work.
cheers

Could you run a wire from the B to the G as it is already connected to the battery permanent live? Most Suzuki and Kubota stuff uses the alternator so
they should have plugs in the scrapyard.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

So when would the light ever come on?
As I understand it if the alternator isn't charging that is exactly what happens when it does charge you get +12v and +12v at the bulb terminals
so no potential difference and no light.
