Alternator & Regulator: Description

Alternator is a Nippondenso 75-amp type. Alternator is non-serviceable and requires no periodic maintenance. Replace alternator if defective.

A solid state, nonadjustable voltage regulator is mounted inside the alternator. Regulator components are enclosed in a solid mold. Voltage regulator and brush holder assemblies are attached to slip ring end frame.

Two brushes carry current through 2 slip rings to a field coil mounted on rotor. Stator windings, assembled inside a laminated core, form part of alternator frame assembly. A rectifier bridge containing 6 diodes is connected to stator windings.
