Alternator - Models W/External Regulator: Description

Rated outputs range from 40 to 100 amps depending upon model application. All alternators use external solid-state electronic regulators. All models use either an indicator light or ammeter gauge.

Current is supplied to the system from rotating field of alternator through 2 brushes contacting 2 slip rings. Alternating current is produced and then rectified to direct current through diodes. Charging systems are equipped with a fusible link between starter relay and alternator BAT terminal. See Figure.
