Recharging
55.
1.
Undo the bolts shown fixing the alternator
assembly.
2.
Dismantle the following alternator com-
ponents:
A. Rear support plate with stator
wind-
ings
B. Rotor
C. Front support plate
3. Checking inductor (rotor) winding re-
sistance at the slip rings
- Place the two probes of an ohmmeter (set
on a scale of Q x 1) in contact with the ro-
tor slip rings (shown by the arrows): the in-
strument reading should show a certain re-
sistance value.
NOTE If the resistance value is infinite
(broken circuit)rrotto), then the ro-
tor has to be replaced.
4. Checking stator winding insulation
- Place the two probes of an ohmmeter (set
on a scale of Q x 1) in contact with the
windings and the stator casing, respective-
ly;
- the resistance reading on the instrument
should be infinite, if this is not the case re-
place the rotor.
