ALTERNATOR

Inspection

Use
an

ohmmeter
as

shown
in
Fig

to
test

the

Apply
the
tester
between
the

and
check
that

the

is

approximately
4

ohms
at

normal

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

should
be

renewed

Cbeck
the

terminals
as

If
there
is

If
there
is

conductivity
between

any
wire

Diodes

Three

positive

The

diodes
on
the

positive

only
allow
current
to
flow
from

whilst
the

or
does
not

allow

to
flow
in
