has
two

form
two

complete
a

DESCRIPTION

The

incorporates
an
Ie

voltage
regulator
which
maintains
volt

age
within
the

specified
range
and

prevents

output

from

rising

higher
than
the

specified

Except

for
the

are

essentially
the

of

the

conventional

alternator

Service

procedures

The

conduct

only

is

generated
in
the

The

Silicon

act

like
a
