Figure 7-15Charging System Components 15 Ampere The 15 AMP CHARGING SYSTEM consists of the alternator, the rectifier diodes which change the alternating current output of the alternator to direct current, the transistorized voltage regulator which serves to keep the charging voltage at safe level, the protective fuses, and the batteryALTERNATORAMP AND 15 AMP The alternator is made up of two partsthe flywheel with cast-in magnets and the stator assembly whi ch is bolted to the crankcaseThe stator assembly is made up of circular field winding and coils wound over laminated iron coreAround this assembly the flywheel turns, inducing alternating current in the coilsRECTlflERSAMP AND 15 AMP The rectifier assembly converts the alternating current to direct currentA voltage regulator used only with the 15-amp alternator controls the voltage output of the alternatorSee Figure 7-15
