Description & Operation: Generator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Aerio, 2003 Suzuki Aerio, and 2002 Suzuki Aerio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Generator internal components are connected electrically. The generators features are as follows:
- Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator.
- All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
- This unit along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear housing.
- The IC regulator uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the generator, and the voltage setting can not be adjusted.
- The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions will provide long period of attention free service.
- The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
- A condenser mounted in the rear housing suppresses radio noise.
