Grand Vitara 4WD L4-2.4L (2009)
Alternator: Description and Operation
Generator Description
The generator is a small and high performance type with an IC regulator incorporated. The internal components are connected electrically as shown in
the following figure.
The generator features are as follows:
-
Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator.
-
All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
-
The regulator along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear end frame. The DENSO generator used with the N32A engine has
regulator made integral with the stator, and the stator and regulator assembly is called "coil assembly".
-
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 will provide long period of attention-free service.
-
The stator coil are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
