NOTE: The voltage waveform of the generator "B" terminal can undulate as shown at left. This waveform is produced when the regulator operates according to fluctuations in the generator load (current), and is normal for the generator. If the ripple height is abnormally high (approximately 2V or more during idling), the wires between the generator "B" terminal and the battery have broken due to fuse blowing, etc. The generator is usually operating properly.
