Look at my post number 102, from 3/13/2019.
It should have everything you need including common part numbers for the diodes.
Not to be rude, but please think about wether you have enough electronic knowledge and skill before attempting this. I’d hate for you to reverse a diode and fry a...
As I posted before I upgraded the diodes in my voltage regulator and it worked and operates as it’s suppose to. The 5408 diodes can take a 1000V hit versus the 5404 which were limited by 400V. Theoretically that’s high enough that they should never burn up. I also added the MOV for additional...
I did the diode upgrade mod. Replaced the original 5404 diodes in both the quad bridge and the exciter field inside the A1 with 5408 diodes. The 5408 diodes have a max reverse peak voltage of 1000V. The generator still runs great! I’ll post the steps later. It was a relatively easy mod.
