Got a new multimeter today.
Car idling @ 1100rpm (higher idle set by arduino for drivability reasons)
3 phase wires coming from the motor: 45.0v RMS AC measured phase to phase -> works out to ~63.6v peak, I believe (?), 2.00a, ~155w
After diode bridge rectifier: 58.5v DC, 2.50a, ~146w, ~93% efficient rectification
After power supply: 14.25v, 8.40a, ~120w, ~82% efficient at what is approximately 15% load for this unit
Not sure how efficient the 15kw motor is at producing 155w of electricity. :P
Before efficiency losses of the IMA motor, electricity generation is ~0.2HP at idle. No accessories on, just my cameras/screens and the engine.
