#KINGS SMART BATTERY ISOLATOR TROUBLESHOOTING GENERATOR#
The stator coil are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.Ĭlick to expand.But aside from regulated voltage being specifically reduced by the EUC, realize that at idle speed the alternator power output (= volts x amps) is fundamentally limited by the low RPM. 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 generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. The IC regulator uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the generator, and the voltage setting cannot be adjusted. 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 regulator along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear end frame. All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator. The internal components are connected electrically as shown in the following figure. The generator is a small and high performance type with an IC regulator incorporated. Temp compensating alternators are used as charging voltages need to be lower as battery temps rise.īelow is a cut and paste from the manual. Variable Voltage - ECU controlled, voltage may be below 12.7 while driving. Temperature compensating- May be ecu controlled, always above 13.2V determined by the temperature as detected by a sensor in the regulator.
There are 3 types of alternator used in motor vehicles.įixed voltage- Old school, voltage always above 14.2, independent to any other engine controls
