Mercury 75 SEA PRO - Capacitor Charging #1 CDM

2A-20 - ELECTRICAL 90-830234R3 DECEMBER 1997
Capacitor Charging #1 CDM
The STATOR assembly is mounted to the block
below the flywheel and has 3 CAPACITOR CHARG-
ING COILS wound in series. The FLYWHEEL is fitted
with 6 permanent magnets inside the outer rim. The
flywheel rotates the permanent magnets past the
capacitor charging coils causing the coils to produce
AC voltage (260-320 volts). The AC voltage is then
conducted to the CAPACITOR DISCHARGE MOD-
ULES (CDM), where it is rectified (DC) and stored in
a capacitor. The stator voltage return path is through
the ground wire of the other CDM and back through
that CDM’s charging coil wire to the capacitor
charging coils.
