ALTERNATOR

TEST

Before

conducting
an
alternator
test
make
sure
that

the

battery
is

fully
charged

To
conduct
a
test
it
is

necessary
to
use
a

3D
volt

voltmeter
and
suitable
test

probes

Set

up
a
test
circuit
as
shown
in

Figure
EE

and
test

the
alternator
in
the
manner
indicated
in

The

regulator
basically
consists

of
a

voltage
regulator

and
a

charge
relay
The

voltage
regulator
has
two
sets
of

contact

points
a

lower
set
and

upper
set
to

control

altemator

voltage
An

armature

plate
placed
between
the

two
sets
of
contacts

moves

upward
or

downward
or

vibrates

The
lower
contacts
when

closed

complete
the

field
circuit
direct

to

ground
and
the

upper
contacts

when
closed

complete
the
field
circuit

to

through

a
