Hi,
I built a DC welding machine that uses a Leece Neville 270 Amp alternator to manufacture the current. I have done a lot research for this project and one of the articles that I read mentioned limiting the field current to 3 Amps in order to make the brushes last longer.
I can see where fusing the circuit to limit the Amps in case of a malfunction, but does not the field windings dictate the Amps?.
Yep,
