Description

The alternator consists of eight built-in diodes, which convert alternating current to direct current. Direct current is then output from terminal "B" of the alternator. In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is controlled by the battery voltage detection system. The alternator is controlled by the battery voltage sensing system. The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings, and V-ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder has a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
