I. General Information: Overview

The charging system consists of the following components:

^ Generator (with a built-in rectifier and voltage regulator).

^ Battery.

^ Charging system wiring.

^ Charging indicator light (in the instrument cluster) and associated wiring.

^ Pre-Excitation Resistor.

The generator has eight built-in diodes. These diodes convert the AC output of the generator into DC output (rectified).





All Hyundai generators have an internal voltage regulator. The regulator is part of the brush holder unit. The function of the voltage regulator is to control the output voltage of the generator to prevent excessive voltage from being applied to the vehicle's electrical system.
