Kris,
the Ohm reading with 2.1 Ohm is typical for the 15Kw and 30Kw units. The manual recommends disassembly of G1 in case of heavy dirt accumulation and final ultra sonic cleaning of all parts including the housing with coils. This is per Depot Level Maintenance - not field level maintenance.
The low internal resistance of the static exciter is usually to low for the commercial after market exciters. A Customer of mine in Texas usually has the static exciter rewound with smaller gauge wire which has then 25 Ohm resistance to work with the aftermarket units. He just did a 30Kw for a new Fire Station near Houston.
The VR Board is the circuit board on the sub-assembly - it is the board which is mounted horizontally.
