Look at the number of pole bolts on the outside of the generator frame. DC units have 4 sets of two bolts, while AC have six sets of two.

Are these pole bolts external on the side or on the end? i looked at this thing a couple of weeks ago and not sure what i am looking for. thanks mike.

Mike;

There may be a easier way to tell if it is DC or AC. If it has "slip rings" to pick up the power it is AC and if it has a "segmented commutator" it is a DC generator.

I hope this helps.
