Great! My first thought was that you were referencing said shows, but I just wanted to be sure!

As for the other, the switch I have does not have normally opened contact or included resistor. Just 2 contacts, a large and a small, that open when the switch is selected off. I was hoping that killing the field current, it would cause the ALT to "turn off" thus preventing damage without needing to "drain" any voltage.

If that is not the case, I will just have to get one of the OMP switches with 3 contacts.
