Rotor
The inside of the rotor shaft is tapered and connected
directly to the taper on the engine crankshaft. This end is
supported by the engine crankshaft bearing. The oppo-
site end of the rotor is supported by a bearing housed in
the generator housing. This end also contains the two slip
rings. There are two individual coils wound on the rotor
(a)
. When the engine is running, these two windings
create the magnetic field for the main stator windings.
5.3
Stator
The stator
(b)
houses both the main windings and
auxiliary winding. The main windings are connected
directly to the main circuit breaker and voltage selector
switch to supply power to the output receptacles. The
auxiliary winding induces the initial current in the field
windings of the rotor. It is connected directly to the choke
and the AC input to the bridge rectifier.
