Charging System: Description and Operation

The charging system includes a battery, a generator with a built in regulator, and the charging indicator light and wire. The generator has six built in diodes (three positive and three negative), each rectifying AC current to DC current. Therefore, DC current appears at generator "B" terminal.

In addition, the charging voltage of this generator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of the generator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V- ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
