I’ve been usefully busy over Christmas and have fitted a DVR3 electronic regulator to my DFL dynamo equipped car. The dynamo is now converted to 2 brush and I have a 3ohm 50 watt resistor inserted with the field coils to create something nearer adequate resistance. The problem is that on garage testing I’m seeing the ammeter run up to 15amps, which can’t be good.
Is the problem that 3 ohms isn’t enough or is it something else?
That’s what seems to be suggested in this thread

It would be useful if a higher powered resistor solved the problem but I’m much happier with mechanical things that electrics or even electronics, hence the request for helpful suggestions
Thanks
