3 phase vs single phase

[uneasy rider]

I have a 3 phase set up on my 1975 Commando. the stator is cracked and breaking up. Can I just replace it with my single phase stator without changing anything else? Just plug it in and go?
I have heard that the 3 phase stators can overhear, crack and fail.

Tks

I ran a single phase alternator though a 3 phase reg/rect for a number of years, you connect the 2 wires out of the alternator to any 2 of the 3 input wires of the reg/rect.

I had the same problem. After burning up two 14.5A 3 phase stators, even after increasing the rotor/stator gap, I went back to my original 10A single phase stator and now all is well (hooked up to my Trispark 3 phase regulator like kommando stated). No charging issues even with a cNw electric starter (I also have all LED lighting). Trispark now only recommends and sells the 10A single phase stator for use with their regulator.

I am looking at a Lucas, high output, single phase 16 amp stater. I think I will try going with that.

I smoked my 3 phase and am curently running one of these through a Tri-Spark mosfet..
Works fine...
