ALTERNATOR
SERVICE
DESCRIPTION
The stator is
connected
to
a three-phase,
full-wave
bridge
rectifier package
which
contains
six
diodes.
The bridge
converts the
AC
generated
in
the
stator
to
a
DC
output
for
battery charging
and
accessories,
Power
to the regulator
and
the
field
of
the
integral regulator
alternator
is
provided
by
the
field
diode
(or
diode trio)
package contained
in
the
alternator.
These alternators produce a rated output of
50
or
51
amps.
rated output
is
achieved
at
approximately 6000 alternator
!pm at
an
ambient temperature of 75'F (23.8'C). The
alternators are
designed
to
operate
in
an
ambient temperature
range of
-40'
to
212'F (-40'
to
lOO'C).
INSPECnDN
When
rebuilding
the
engine,
the
alternator
should
be
cleaned
and
inspected. The housing
can
be
wiped
off
with
a solvent
