PMA (Permanent Magnet Alternator) Generator Conversion

PMA (Permanent Magnet Alternator) Generator Conversion.

UPDATE: Left the project for a week or more and took a vacation. Now experimenting again. New images show to remove the 3 remaining screws in the stator assembly to access/remove the remaining diodes, regulator and any brush parts. Get the inside of stator housing down to bare metal.

No power ... yet. I tried soldering directly to where the coil ends are exposed but suspect that there are still diodes (possibly defective) on the other side. The remaining regulator may also pose a problem.

I've heard that older GM alternators are much easier to work with but will eventually get this Subaru to work!!! I also posted a schematic of the WRX wiring.

Converts a Subaru alternator to a PMA / Generator. Designed around a 2003 WRX spare alternator. Keep the 4 rotor assembly bolt and trash the rotor. No excitation required. This one has the diodes & regulator built in.

Uses a 9.5mm shaft x 100mm and neo disc (N42) magnets mea
