Generator Description

Precautions: Precautions for Handling Battery · Precautions for Replacing Battery · General safety (00)

The generator is of a small and high performance type with an IC regulator incorporated. The internal components are connected electrically as shown in figure.
LIN, one line communication system, is used for communication between generator and ECM. (For more information on generator control system, refer to Generator Control System Description:D16AA.)
The generator features are as follows:
•Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator.
•All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
•The IC regulator along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear housing.
•The IC regulator uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the generator, and the voltage setting cannot be adjusted.
•The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions they will provide long period of attention-free service.
•The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
