MAJOR GENERATOR COMPONENTS
3. Two excitation winding output leads (No. 2 and 6). These leads
deliver unregulated excitation current to the voltage regulator.
4. Three (3) battery charge output leads (No. 55, 66 and 77).

BRUSH HOLDER
The brush holder is retained in the rear bearing carri-
er by two M5 screws. It retains two brushes, which
contact the Rotor slip rings and allow current flow
from stationary parts to the revolving Rotor. The posi-
tive (+) brush is located nearest the Rotor bearing.
Figure 2-3. – Brush Holder
BATTERY CHARGE COMPONENTS
The Stator incorporates dual battery charge windings.
A battery charge rectifier (BCR) changes the AC out-
put of these windings to direct current (DC). Battery
charge winding output is delivered to the unit battery
via the rectifier, a 14 amp fuse and Wire No. 15. A
one ohm, 25 watt resistor is connected in series with
the grounded side of the circuit.

EXCITATION CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
GENERAL:
During operation, the Rotor's magnetic field induces a
voltage and current flow into the Stator excitation
winding. The resultant AC output is delivered to a
voltage regulator via an excitation circuit breaker
(CB2).
Figure 2-5. – Schematic: Excitation Circuit
EXCITATION CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The excitation circuit breaker (CB2) is self-resetting
and cannot be reset manually. Should the breaker
open for any reason, excitation current flow to the
Rotor is lost. The unit’s AC output voltage will then
drop to a value equal to the Rotor's residual magnet-
ism (about 7-12 VAC).
