A compact alternator with an
IC
regulator is used,
having the following characteristics:
Approximately
26
%
lighter and 17
%
smaller than a
standard alternator.
Cooling performance and safety have been improved
by combining the cooling fan with the rotor and
incorporating the fan
/
rotor unit inside the alternator.
IC
regulator
is
fitted inside the alternator.
The rectifier,
IC
regulator and similar components are
easy to remove, making
it
easier to service the
alternator.

An
IC
regulator uses solid state transistors, chips or
othere semiconductor elements instead of the relays in a
conventional regulator. Stable characteristics are
achieved by cutting
off
the field current.
IC
regulators have the following characteristics:
0
The control voltage does not change over time,
so
the need for readjustment is eliminated. Since there
are no moving parts,
IC
regulators are extremely
durable and resistant
to
vibration.
The overheat compensation characteristics ensure
that the control voltage is reduces as the temperature
rises,
so
the battery is charged at just the right level.
The internal circuitry of the
IC
regulator is shown in
the diagram.
It
consists of
a
hybrid
IC
incorporating a
monolighic
IC.
(The internal circuitry of the monolithic
IC
is extremely complex,
so
it
is shown as simply
“M.IC
circuit”.
Tri acts as the contacts controlling the field current,
and
Trr
acts as the charge lamp relay controlling the
flashing of the charge lamp.
The
M.IC
circuit controls Tri and
Trz,
and monitors
the alternator output voltage, and detacts any drop
in
L
terminal voltage or breaks in the rotor coil.
