How to test this Niehoff alternator 570 amps 28VDC 76761-N1609 & -N3240 regulator

I could not find much info on this unit other than its one of the biggest ones they make. I have some water rights on an old hydro mill and would like to play with this a little bit. Does anyone have any wiring info on it? Thanks! It would be fun to find the optimum RPM range and see how well it would do charging a small battery bank.

Some of them will make power spun in either direction. Niehoff has a lot of info available on their site. You may have to look up the regulator separate from the alternator.

IIRC some of these were dual voltage and used on the HMMWV. Is there an NSN on it? Might could look for a TM on it!

Edit; NSN is 2920015669918 and was used on an MRAP. Single voltage unit.

Does the unit come with a forklift or chain fall ?

Don't know about that but it certainly has a lifting eye!

Yeah...it has a lifting eye; it weighs 120 pounds!

Still hunting on the wiring harness side....looks like they are hiding here:
