The purpose of the charging system is to keep the
battery at a full state of charge.
The magneto is the primary source of electrical
energy. It transforms magnetic field into electric
current.
The magneto has a 3 phase, delta wound stator
on 18 poles.
Rectifier/Regulator
smr2005-058-002_a
1. Rectifier/regulator
The rectifier receives AC current from the magne-
to and transforms it into direct current (DC).
The regulator, included in the same unit, limits
voltageatamaximumlevel(14.5to14.8volts)to
prevent any damage to components.
The unit is using a 3 phase in series rectifier/
regulator which transforms (AC) from the magne-
to into (DC) to allow battery charging.
Battery
The battery is the DC source for the electric
starter, the Vehicle Control Module (VCM), Engine
Control Module (ECM) and all accessories.
Fuse
If the battery is regularly discharged, check charg-
ing system fuse condition.
