Thanks.
In the current shunt type, the silicon rectifiers will put all the current not need for the operation of the electrical demand to a hard ground (negitive). This is why it will over time cause the stator to fail. The MOSFET type will clip the voltage off when its not needed and the stator just rests idle so to speak. It happens in millisecond's, on and off.MJR said:It's my understanding from what I've read posted here that since the stock charging system uses a current shunt (short to ground)method to regulate voltage that this would cause the stator to run at full load all the time which could lead to a failure due to constant heat/load. Now if the rectifier/regulator goes bad it could take out the stator also.
There is the MOSFET PWM rectifier/regulator upgrade which changes the charging regulation method from current to voltage. This varies the load on the stator as needed instead of running it fully loaded all the time. Since your working on the charging system anyway upgrading the rectifier/regulator to protect your new stator might be wise.

U R Right, sorry.ErikDK said:The MosFet types shunt to ground as well, but they do it in a way that's not so hard against themselves and the alternator.
The regulators that cut the current are rare, larger and have their own issues.
