Section 05 ELECTRICAL Subsection 02 (OVERVIEW)
OVERVIEW
GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION
The electrical system consists of different subsystems in which some are inter-related: charging system starting system ignition system accessoriesThe following gives an outline of each componentsVoltage RegulatorRectifier
A 3-phase full-wave shunt type voltage regulator rectifier receives the AC voltage and rectifies (converts) it into DCThe voltage is also regulated to maximum of 15.1 0.5 volts (DC)
Battery
The battery supplies the entire vehicleTherefore, DC current only is used in the entire electrical system
STARTING SYSTEM
When the ignition switch is turned on and start button depressed, signal is sent to the starting solenoidThe battery then supplies current to the starter through the starting solenoid to turn the engine6 4
CHARGING SYSTEM
It is the source of electrical energy to charge the battery and keep it at full state of chargeThe magneto is coupled to the engine and it transforms magnetic field into electric current through phase, delta "Y" wound stator on 18 polesThe magneto supplies unregulated AC current (alternative current) to the voltage regulatorrectifier3 4
