Generator

The Generator (GEN) used on this vehicle is the internal fan and regulator type.

The Generator (GEN):
- supplies current to the vehicle's electrical system.
- charges the battery.

With the ignition switch in the RUN position:
- voltage is supplied through the I circuit to the voltage regulator.
- the generator warning lamp turns ON (lamp prove-out).
- the voltage regulator turns ON, allowing current to flow through the A circuit to the generator field coil.

With the engine running:
- the generator produces Alternating Current (AC), which is changed to Direct Current (DC) by the rectifier diodes.
- current is supplied to the vehicle through the generator B+ terminal (stud).
- the generator warning lamp turns OFF.
- generator output is controlled by the voltage regulator.
