ALTERNATOR ANIMATION
Four wires connect the alternator to the rest of the charging system.
• B is the alternator output wire that supplies current to the battery.
• IG is the ignition input that turns on the alternator/regulator
assembly.
• S is used by the regulator to monitor charging voltage at the
battery.
• L is the wire the regulator uses to ground the charge warning lamp.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Iron core-operated set of contact points is utilized to regulate maximum and minimum
voltage at all times (14.2-14.8V). When the generator is operating (battery low or a
number of devices running) its voltage may stay below that for which the control is set.
Since the flow of current will be too weak to pull the armature down the generator field
will go to ground through the points. However, if the system is fully charged the generator
voltage will increase until it reaches the maximum limit and current flow through the
shunt coil will be high enough to pull the armature down and separate the points.
This cycle is repeated over and over in real time. The points open and close about 50 to
200 times per second, maintaining a constant voltage in the system.
