Seems a regulated output should also regulate out any spikes. The clipper circuit box likely absorbs some power output from the stator and with some of these system the output in only 6 amps max, which isn’t much. I like the idea of voltage regulation and with modern electronics it should be easy enough to do.

As the load is reduced on a stator the voltage should rise. I talked with a rep at CDI and he said to reduce output of a stator switches can be put in leads that lead to the rectifier. I asked if this could result in a high enough voltage to ‘punch through’ the insulation on the stator and he said it was not near high enough of a voltage to be concerned. This leads me to believe that a good regulator could reduce the load on the stator once the system was pretty much charged up and would reduce stator temperatures.
