WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The heat generated in the generator is, in principle, proportional to the current generated and must be directed away to prevent damage to the insulation and diodes. The generator (GEN) is therefore air cooled and equipped with two integrated cooling fans on the rotor shaft.
