Alternator & Regulator: Description

Trooper is equipped with a 60- or 75- amp generator. A solid state, nonadjustable voltage regulator is mounted inside the generator. Regulator components are enclosed in a solid mold. Voltage regulator and brush holder assemblies are attached to slip ring end frame.

Two brushes carry current through 2 slip rings to a field coil, mounted on rotor. Stator windings, assembled inside a laminated core, form part of generator frame assembly. A rectifier bridge containing 6 diodes is connected to stator windings. Rotor bearings are sealed and require no periodic maintenance.
