DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION.semi-conductor “diodes mounted on two heat sinks, avoltage regulator and current-voltage transformers.The generator (main alternator) (see figure l-l) isThe exciter armature and the bridge rectifier assem-a single bearing, splashproof, self -ventilated unit, withbly are mounted on the rotor shaft of the synchronousa flange to attach to the engine flywheel housing.Major generator components are stator, rotor, andgenerator and are connected to the generator fieldwindings.The stator of the brushless exciter con-brushless exciter. The stator is composed of a com-sists of field coils wound on the poles and attachedpressed stack of one piece laminations held in posi-to the generator endbell. During operation of thetion by stator bars welded axially on the outsidegenerator, the three-phase power generated in thediameter of the laminations. A steel wrapper weldedrotating exciter armature is applied directly to theto these bars provides the generator frame. Therotating rectifier assembly. The six diodes, mountedgenerator windings each occupy two groups of slotson rotating heat sinks, are connected to forma three-180 mechanical degrees apart. The generator rotor isphase, full-wave bridge. The direct current output of composed of one piece rotor laminations, stacked,the bridge rectifier is applied to the rotating fieldcompressed, and held in position by copper damperof the generator. Thus, the two assemblies; exciterbars welded to the copper end laminations. Rotorarmature and synchronous field form a single rotatingwindings are made of Type L2 Class 155 copper wireassembly, enabling electrical connections to be madeinsulated from ground with MIL-I-22834A syntheticwithout the use of brushes, collector rings or com-bonded paper. The rotor is press fitted and keyed tomutator. Excitation current for the stationary fieldthe rotor shaft, and balanced.
