GENERATO~
DESCRIPTION
This generator
is
a brushless self-excited generator, which
requires only
the
driving
force
of
the
engine
to
produce
AC
output The copper
and
laminated
iron
in
the
exciter stator
are
responsible for
the
self-exciting
feature
of
this
generator.
The
magnetic field creates
an
electromagnetic
field
which
rotates
through the windings of
the
main
stator, inducing
AC
voltage
which
is
supplied
to
a
load.
A transformer
is
connected
in
parallel to the
AC
output of
the
main
stator.
An
AC
voltage
is
produced
in
the
auxiliary
windings
of
the
transformer
and
.
~ain
stator and
is,
in
turn,
supplied
to
a
fulJ~wave
bridge
rec-
tifier.
The rectifier produces a
DC
voltage
to
further excite
the
exciter stator windings, enabling the generator
to
produce
a
rated
AC
output
as
the
generator speed reaches
its
set
hertz
rpm.
An
optional solid-state voltage regulator
is
available
to
work
ii'l
tandem with
the
transfonner regulator
to
produce a
more
stable AC output.
STARTER
A circuit breaker
is
installed
on
all
current WESTERBEKE
generators. This circuit breaker
will
automatically disconnect
generator power
in
case of
an
electrical overload. The circuit
breaker
can
be
manually shut off when servicing the genera-
tor
to
inspre that
no
power
is
coming into the generator.
NOTE:
This circuit breaker is available as a
WESTERB£K£
add-on
k.{l
for earlier mode! generators; cOn/act
