[T3] Charging System Polarization

["Garret Trask" <garret_trask@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I'm installing a new voltage regulator in my car, and I've come across a 
step in the Muir book to polarize the charging system.  The step says: "Take 
your long lead with two clips on it and connect it from the negative pole, 
or the ground clamp from the battery, to the ground screw on the generator.  
Then take another piece of wire with bare ends and hold it to the positive 
(hot) side of the battery and touch it to the hot wire coming out of the 
generator.  It is always the larger lead out of the battery (usually, but 
not always, red).  This will ensure that the generator and the battery are 
in loving harmony."

I understand the negative pole on the battery and ground screw on the 
generator, and I understand the positive (hot) side of the battery.  I don't 
understand what is meant by "the hot wire coming out of the generator".  Can 
someone tell me if he's referring to the wire that connects to the D+ or the 
DF pole on the generator?
