Description

The AC generator has eight built-in diodes, each of which converts alternating current to direct current. Therefore, direct current appears at the "B" terminal of the alternator. In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage sensing system. The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage sensing system. The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor, brushes, bearings and poly-V belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
