im using a old ford f-250 alternator. it has 6 poles south and 6 poles north on the rotor. im curious to see its effects when u have 3 wires in series on the stator per phase its not a stock configuration its rewound. 2 out of the 3 wires per phase are wound at the same time, while one was wound alone and all three placed in each phase.. the two wound together represent positive and negative choke.. while the positive choke of each phase has a blocking diode between the positive wind and whats considered the secondary postive of the 3 wires... having 9 different wires wound on the stator total.. all nine in operation are aiding in current flow since electrons all travel in the same direction..
