CHARGING SYSTEM
SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 24
Description
This package uses an integral regulator charging system. The integrated circuit regulator
is a solid state unit that is mounted inside the alternator to the slip ring end frames. All regula-
tor components are enclosed in a solid mold to protect them from the heat and corrosive
elements. The regulator voltage cannot be adjusted.
The alternator rotor gearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lu-
brications. Two brushes carry current through two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the
rotor. Under normal conditions, this arrangement is capable of providing long periods of
attention free service.
Stator windings are assembled inside a laminated core that is mounted between the alterna-
tor drive end frame and the slip ring end frame. A rectified bridge that contains six diodes
is connected to the stator winding. These diodes electrically change stator AC voltage into
DC voltage. This DC voltage is then transmitted to the alternator output terminal.
A capacitor or condenser, mounted in the regulator, protects the rectifier bridge. This capaci-
tor also suppresses radio noise.
NOTE: There are no repair or replacement internal parts for this alternator. The alternator
has to be replaced as a complete assembly. The only part that is available is the pulley.
