Inspection

Rotor
1. Check that there is continuity between the slip rings(A). If there is no continuity, replace the generator.





Stator
1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of leads(A). If there is no continuity, replace the generator.





Rectifier
1. Check for continuity in each direction, between the B terminal(A) and P terminals(B), between the E terminal(C) and P terminals(B) of each diode pair. All diodes should have continuity in only one direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed to allow current to pass in one direction, and the rectifier is made up of eight diodes(four pairs), you must test each diode in both directions for continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode checking capability: a total of 16 checks. If any diode failed, replace the rectifier assembly.
