I am using a 7.5 HP gasoline engine with an alternator attached to that I made to help charge banks of batteries that I use to power my house on an island with no electricity. The problem that I am having is how to connect the ampere gauge to the unit to see how many amps it is charging at. I bought the alternator at a parts yard and it does not have any markings saying the output of the amperage. Would appreciate anyone who can help me connect the gauge to the alternator. I don't know if I need a shunt or not?
Thank you,
