4. Alternator
Standard, 12V/55A
The
alternator
serves
to
keep
the
battery
constantly
charged.
It
is installed on the cylinder block by a bracket,
and is driven from the V-pulley at the end
of
the crankshaft
by
a V belt.
The type of alternator used
in
this engine is ideal fur
high speed engines with a wide range
of
engine
speeds. It contains diodes that convert AC
to
DC, and
an lC regulator that keeps the generated voltage con-
stant even when the engine speed changes.
4-1 Features
The alternator contains a regulator using an IC, and has
the following features.
(1) The IC regulator is self-contained, and has no moving
parts (mechanical contact points)
It
therefore has supe-
rior features such as freedom from vibration, no fluctu-
ation of voltage during use, and
no
need
for
readjusment
Also, it is of the over-heating compensation
type
and
can automatically adjust the voltage to the most suit-
able level depending on the operating temperature.
(2) The regulator is integrated within the alternator to
simplify external wiring.
(3) It is an
alternator
designed for compactness, light-
ness of weight and high output
(4) A newly developed U-shaped diode is used to provide
increased reliability and easier checking and mainte-
nance.
(5) As the alternator is to
be
installed on board, the follow-
ing measures are taken to provide salt-proofing.
1) The front and rear covers are salt-proofed.
2) Salt-proof paint is applied to the diode.
3) The terminal, where the inboard harness is connected
to
the alternamr. is mckel plated.
