Charging System: Description and Operation

Description

[Gasoline]
The charging system included a battery, an alternator with a built-in regulator, the charging indicator light, and wiring.
The alternator has six built-in diodes (three positive and three negative), each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC curent appears at alternator "B" terminal.
In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.
The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
