HKZ Mirage reg/rec wiring.

Good morning all.

After reading the posts on the "old" forum after the "losing" the battery I have obtained a new Electrex RR10 regulator/rectifier.

Having checked the green book's wiring diagram, it appears that the original rectifier (found under the tool compartment???) does not have enough wires to match up to the new unit.

Can anyone help with how it should be wired ?

I should add that it is still running the original Bosch ignition box and wiring.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Regards,

David
 
Hi David, the RR10 unit is only suitable for the later three phase charging systems found on series two and 120 degree bikes. Something like an RR51 should work, it also gives you a charge light, best to ring them. They are very helpfull.

Keith, I've often wondered what would happen with a 3 phase rectifier if you only connected a single phase? When the rectifier on my HKZ triple died I dug the bits out of the little box and made a full wave bridge with automotive diodes and embedded the lot in epoxy. But no regulator, I had the single 100W coil that couldn't power the lights except at full throttle. I'm assuming the 3 phase rectifiers have a separate full wave bridge for each phase and that they then combine the outputs, although do they keep the 3 outputs out of phase for a smoother "DC waveform" or just clip the DC output using the regulator circuit for continuous DC voltage?
So what do you think would happen with a single phase input into a 3 phase rectifier/regulator? Cam and anyone else who's interested, if you have a comment I'd like to see it.

Wonder away, I can't really be bothered to think about it, just use readily available off the shelf suitable components.... :D

Many thanks Stefan.

I do indeed have just the two cables from the alternator. I will check it out this weekend,

A 3-phase rectifier is similar to a single phase one except that it has a 6-diode bridge rather than 4. You can connect a single phase to it and it will work exactly the same as a 4-diode bridge, but two of the diodes will have no current flowing through them.

Cheers,

Cheers Cam.

Will now tackle this at the weekend providing I haven't been earmarked for duties by the other half.

Thinking about it, you forced me into it  ;), the standard set up for the series two bikes big Suzukis etc. uses only two charging phases until the lights are switched on so it will in fact function just fine although you will still lose the charging light facility.
