Alternator - Models W/Integral Regulator: Description

Rated outputs for integral regulator alternator range from 40 to 65 amps. Alternator field current is supplied from the regulator to the rotating field through brushes contacting slip rings. Alternating current is produced and then rectified to direct current by the use of diodes. The regulator automatically adjusts field current to maintain alternator output.

Charging systems are equipped with a fusible link, used to prevent system damage. Warning light is used to indicate charging system failure.
