This is the old circuit breaker, which I had marked the wires for easy re-connection but it has been quite s few years (like 30) and I do not have it correct.

This is the 12volt to 6 volt resistance coil.

This is the resistance from 6 volts to 4.6 volts for the coil.

What I do not understand is that the mounting bolts earth out the resistance as the mounting bolt goes through the casing of the coil cover which is on an insulated block. How does this work or am I missing something as I an not an electrical engineer.

The current comes off the 6 volt resistance coil via a metal strip which links the two further coil voltage reducers to the mounting bolt which goes to earth.

Would that not cause a short circuit?

Thanks for your help.
