I have a single phase PMA alternator also. It will show a clean sine wave. Similar to what I see if testing a wall outlet.

I think I originally said to do something like that, but after watching those U tube videos I had changed my mind, and told you that.Originally posted by boscoe99 View PostThree phase alternator. Three output wires. Probe ground clip attached to one of the three phases. The other clip was attached to a different phase wire.
and said to watch them yourself also.
I do not even remember how or what to set the triggers at.
it has been way too many years ago
This 3 phase system you have may not be referenced to ground, but I am pretty sure the outboard charging systems are.
I would think hooking the ground clip to the frame of the generator would be a good way to go.
have you measure voltage to each phase to that generator case ,and Phase to Phase?
