The stator is connected to a three-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier package which contains six
diodes. The bridge converts the
A.C.
generated
in
the stator to a
D.C.
output for battery charging
and accessories such as radio, heater, lights, ignition, etc. See illustrations below.
Power to the regulator and the field of the integral regulator alternators is provided by the field
diode (or diode trio)
package contained
in
the alternator. Remote regulator alternators obtain field power via the
regulator
in
the charging system.
The alternator designs produce a rated output of
51
amperes. Rated output is achieved at approx-
imately 6000 alternator RPM at an ambient temperature of 75 degrees F (23.8 degrees C). The
alternator is designed to operate in
an
ambient of -40 degrees to
$212
degrees F (-40 to 100
degrees C).
To
ensure proper cooling of the rectifier bridge and internal components of the alter-
nator, it must be used with the proper cooling fan.
