1.2 Specifications
The alternator is a 4-pole, rotating-field unit with a
brushless, permanent-magnet-generator (PMG) 2
excitation system. The generator set excitation system
uses a permanent-magnet exciter with a
silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) assembly that controls 13
the amount of DC current supplied to the generator field.
The voltage regulator sends a signal to the SCR
assembly through an optical coupling. The voltage 3
regulator bases the signal on engine speed and
generator output voltage. The signal turns a stationary 4
light-emitting diode (LED) on or off. The LED is mounted
on the end bracket opposite a photo transistor board
that rotates on the shaft. The photo transistor receives
the signal from the LED and signals the SCR assembly 5
to turn on or off. See Figure 1-1.
