Charging System: Description and Operation
General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
The power source of the charging system is the alternator. Current is transmitted from the field terminal of the regulator through a slip ring to the field
coil and back to ground through another slip ring. The strength of the field regulates the output of the alternating current. This alternating current is then
transmitted from the alternator to the rectifier where it is converted to direct current.
These alternators employ a three-phase stator winding in which the phase windings are electrically 120° apart. The rotor consists of a field coil encased
between interleaved sections producing a magnetic field with alternate north and south poles. By rotating the rotor inside the stator, the alternating
current is induced in the stator windings. This alternating current is rectified (changed to DC) by silicon diodes and brought out to the output terminal of
the alternator.
