5. FIELD FLASHING
When the regulator is operated with the generator for
the first time, the polarity of residual magnetism may
be reversed or too small to achieve the necessary
build-up voltage for the regulator. If reversing the field
connections does not induce build-up, and the residual
voltage is less than the specified value of 5 Vac, shut
down the Prime-mover and proceed with the following
steps :
