Stator signal from DC Power XP280/Nations alternatorposted in WS500 Tips, Tricks and support
There can be many poles, but its still 3 phases. There is really no "middle" phase. They will all give an pulse you can use for pulse to rpm. You can add an diode in series to it.

Better access while runningposted in WS500 Improvement Suggestions
I have the same setup in my boat. 60% field max at normal drive (about 230A). Then 90% when "I need to charge quick mode" (about 400A). Could probably change it to 40%/90%.
