AR15.40-P-5011T Test Charge Current of Generator

Test Charge Current Of Generator

Connection Diagram:

1 Prerequisites for testing generator
2 Check regulation voltage of generator
3 Connect multimeter (003) with DC clip-on probe (065) according to connecting diagram

See "Commercially Available Tools" given below.

4 Connect volt-ampere tester with load resistor (079) according to connection diagram

See "Commercially Available Tools" given below.

DANGER:
- Risk of accident. Accidents may result if the vehicle starts off unintentionally with the engine running. Risk of injury as working around the engine during start-up or while running may result in contusions and burns
- Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving.
- Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not grasp hot or rotating parts.

5 Start engine
6 Test charge current at fast engine revs; apply load to battery (G1) for this step with volt-ampere tester with load resistance (079)

NOTE:
- Vary load resistance long enough until the maximum load current is achieved; when this is done, the regulating voltage must not drop below 12.7 V.
- Charging current below specified value: Test diodes of generator

7 Switch off engine
8 Disconnect multimeter (003) with DC clip-on probe (065)
9 Disconnect volt / ampere tester with load resistor (079)
