I began this journey in the Datasheets, Schematics, Manual and Parts Forum trying to identify a diode "T3J81 (Zener Diode ?). After many great suggestions and hints, I have found that this part is thus far impossible to identify and I may be headed for a dead end on this particular voltage regulator. The gen-set I am attempting to bring back to life is a Dayton W4W113 (7500 watt, 110/220v, single phase), it has a Briggs 18hp 2 cylinder engine with a Winco alternator and a Generac 59459 voltage regulator. This voltage regulator is attached to the receptacle panel and not to the alternator as most newer ones.
What I am wondering and perhaps someone has done is to buy an off the shelf 7500 watt AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) and attach it to the panel. If this is feasible I plan to buy a 6 wire AVR (2 wires for the brushes, 2 for the excitation, and 2 for the power) and wire it appropriately.
Is this a viable solution? Anyone here ever done this?
