Generator test bench wiring

[LUVMYSHOVELS]

Does anybody have a basic wiring diagram for generator test bench. I have all the components, gauges, motor. I just need a simple diagram to complete. Thanks.

I should never trust my memory, Luv,..

But basically you ground the F, and momentarily connect the A through your ammeter.

A horn button works well.

Hope your motor is speed-controlled, and a big one!

Thank You. The motor is big enough. Ijust need to run wires to gauges and go from there.

Might you ever intend to test and set 3-brush generators, Luv?

If so please refer to Palmer's for some tips, as he prescribes a two-horse with variable speeds.
