Alternator: Description and Operation

Generator
The CS130 generator is non-repairable. It is electrically similar to earlier models. The generator feature the following major components:
- The delta stator
- The rectifier bridge
- The rotor with slip rings and brushes
- A conventional pulley
- Dual internal fans
- A voltage regulator

The pulley and the fan cool the slip ring and the frame.

The CS stands for charging system and 130 is the measurement in millimeters, of the outside diameter of the stator laminations. The generator is rated at 100 amperes.

The generator features permanently lubricated bearings. Service should only include the tightening of mounting components. Otherwise, the generator is replaced as a complete unit.
