Hello Bill,
I believe (which is Engineer speak for "I'm totally out of my field so
don't take this as Gospel!) a 1 wire alt is simply that...1 wire to the
battery and nothing else...I mean what else could it be?
1) I have always been fascinated with the thrid lead that goes to the
starter (really the battery terminal). I belive the theory is that this
is a voltage sensing wire...I.e tells the alt what the volts at the
battery are to adjust the output accordingly. In other words assumes
there is a volt drop throught the big charging wire and so directly to
battery. This has always sounded a little hokey to me but this is where
I'm "believing" again...:)
2) That caught my eye too and I had the same question. Not sure I
totally buy it. In the case of our planes the "light" is never going to
fail 'cos its an LED but this is unlikely to be the case in a 1985
Suzuki Samuri...So every time this bulb blows it's a new alternator
too?....hmmm...Maybe over a few hours it will die perhaps?...Gee all
this takes a lot of 'believing' doesn't it...:)
3)You could well be right and if so I stand corrected. I do note that
the one I sent could be shutdown by switching of the field circuit
(which happens to be the one the light is plumbed into on our
alternators. I don't switch mine because of the warning about the
alternator failing. So if the costs are the same the one I sent 'might'
be a better deal because it could be shutdown with a small switch in the
event of a voltage runaway without a honking great contactor to handle
the current if one tried to disconnect the big charging lead...The
thought of a 55amp alt a full speed with nowhere to send all that
current was a bit much to make me go this route anyway.

Frank,
Couple of things with regard to alternators on our Soobs
1 - What is a one wire alternator? We have three leads (1 to battery, 1
to ignition (through lamp) and one to starter solenoid). Does a one wire
just eliminate the one from the ignition?
2 - I was always curious about the note in the Stratus manual that says
" Lamp must be installed" referring to the light tied to +12 v and the
"L" lead of the alternator. In the text it also says "NOTE: If you do
not connect this to a light, your alternator will fail" - Does that mean
if my 12 volt light fails, the alternator will fail also???
3 - Another Stratus owner sent me a number for the alternator that he
used to replace a failed one. He used an AC Delco model 321-1079 which
fits a 1985 Suzuki Samurai but the picture I found on the web of that
alternator does not look like my alternator.
Thanks,
Bill
