Charging System: Description and Operation

Fig. 1 CS Charging System Wiring Diagram:

CS alternators do not use a diode trio. A delta stator, rectifier bridge, and rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to earlier alternators. A conventional pulley and fan is used and an internal fan cools the slip ring end frame, rectifier bridge and regulator. The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature, and limits system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
