ALTERNATOR

Inspection

Use
an

ohmmeter
as

shown
in
Fig
M
21
to
test

the
rotor

field
coil

Apply
the
tester
between
the

slip
rings
and
check
that

the
resistance
is

approximately
4
4
ohms
at

normal
ambient

temperature
Check
the

conductivity
between

slip
ring
and
rotor

core
as
shown
in

Fig
M
22
if

conductivity
exists
the
field
coil

or

slip
ring
must
be

earthing
and
the
rotor

assembly
should
be

renewed

Cbeck
the
stator
to
ensure
that
there
is

conductivity

retween
the
individual
stator

coil
terminals
as
shown
in

Fig
M

23
If
there
is
no

conductivity
between
the
individual
terminals

the
stator
is
defective

Check
each
lead
wire

including
the
neutral
wire
as
shown

in

Fig
M
24
If
there
is

conductivity
between

any
wire
and
the

stator
COTe

the
stator
core

is

earthing
and
the
stator
must

be

replaced

Diodes

Three

positive
diodes
are
mounted
on
the
positive
plate

and
three

negative
diodes
are
mounted
on
the

negative
plate

The
diodes
allow

current
to
flow
in
one
direction

only
The

diodes
on
the

positive
plate
only
allow
current
to
flow
from

the
terminal
to
the

positive
plate
whilst
the
diodes
on
the

negative
plate
only
allow
current
to
flow
from
the

negative

plate
to
the
terminal
A
diode
which
allows
current
to
flow

in
ooth
directions
or
does
not

allow
current
to
flow
in
the

correct
direction
is
unserviceable
and
all
six
diodes
must
be

replaced
Use
a
tester
as
shown
in
Figs
M
25
and
M26
to
check

each
diode

Brushes

Check
the
movement
of
the
brushes
in
their

The

brushes
should
move

freely
and
can
be
eased

by

carefully

the

spiral
type
of
horns

Turning
the

adjusting
screw
