R means resistance (a! 100 m) on the above table.
I means electric current through the wire (A).
Q means the length of the wire (m).
The length of the wire indicates round length, it means twice the length from generator to electrical
tools.
7-2 DC OUTPUT
When the generator is employed to recharge batteries, care must be exercised about the specific gravity of
electrolyte in each battery case.
7-2-l MEASURING THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF ELECTROLYTE:
The specific gravity changes with temperature; therefore, it is converted to another, corresponding to 20°C.
s20
= St + 0.0007 (t - 20)
where
s20
= Specific gravity corresponding to 20°C
St
= Measured value
t
= Temperature at time of measurement
