GENERATOR INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY

    A01KELH

    1. Check the rotor for open circuit.


      1. Measure the resistance between the slip rings.

        Standard
        Generator Type Resistance at 20°C (68°F)
        70 A 2.7 - 3.1 Ω
        90 A 2.1 - 2.5 Ω

        If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.

    2. A01KFBN

      Check the rotor for ground.


      1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the slip ring and rotor.

        If there is continuity, replace the rotor.

    3. A01KFHN

      Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.

      If rough or scored, replace the rotor.

    4. Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.

      Standard diameter
      14.2 - 14.4 mm (0.559 - 0.567 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      12.8 mm (0.504 in.)

      If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor.

  2. INSPECT DRIVE END FRAME ASSEMBLY GENERATOR

    A01KH0Y

    1. Check the stator for open circuit.


      1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the coil leads.

        If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.

    2. A01KIQ9

      Check the stator for ground.


      1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the coil lead and drive end frame.

        If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.

  3. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY

    *a Length

    1. Using vernier calipers, measure the exposed brush length.

      Standard exposed length
      9.5 - 11.5 mm (0.374 - 0.453 in.)
      Minimum exposed length
      1.5 mm (0.059 in.)

      If the exposed length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.

  4. INSPECT GENERATOR HOLDER W/RECTIFIER

    A01KIQDE06
    Text in Illustration
    *1 Positive Terminal
    *2 Rectifier Terminal

    1. Check the positive rectifier.


      1. Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester probe to the positive terminal and the other to each rectifier terminal.

      2. Reverse the polarity of the tester probes and repeat step (1).

      3. Check that one shows continuity and the other shows no continuity.

        If the continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.

    2. A01KFOSE07
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Negative Terminal

      Check the negative rectifier.


      1. Using an ohmmeter, connect one tester probe to each negative terminal and the other to each rectifier terminal.

      2. Reverse the polarity of the tester probes and repeat step (1).

      3. Check that one shows continuity and the other shows no continuity.

        If the continuity is not as specified, replace the rectifier holder.

  5. INSPECT GENERATOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY


    1. Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity between terminals F and B.

      Standard
      When the positive and negative poles between terminals F and B are exchanged, there is continuity in one way but no continuity in another way.

      If the continuity is not as specified, replace the regulator.

    2. A01KFDXE01

      Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity between terminals F and E.

      Standard
      When the positive and negative poles between terminals F and E are exchanged, there is continuity in one way but no continuity in another way.

      If the continuity is not as specified, replace the regulator.

  6. INSPECT ROTOR BEARING


    1. Check the bearing is not rough or worn.

      If necessary, replace the bearing.
