Description & Operation

NOTE: The terms generator and alternator are interchangeable.

Mitsubishi generators are conventional 3-phase, self-rectifying type units containing 6 diodes (3 positive and 3 negative) which are used to rectify current. All models use a case-mounted Integrated Circuit (IC) voltage regulator.

Generator relay or resistor with diode is used to ensure charging of battery even if charging indicator light is defective.
