Figure 55—Generator to Battery Wiring Diagram
90. DESCRIPTION ([fig. 55]).
a. The generator is shunt connected. The two field coils, regulating coil, and shunt coil are not connected in series in the conventional manner. The regulating field coil provides adequate current output (approx. 4 amperes) for daytime operation. The shunt field coil is controlled through the ignition and light switch to increase current output (approx. 8 amperes) when vehicle lights are in use. Generator uses the third (regulating) brush system of current regulation. A cut‐out relay serves as a magnetic switch in the generator‐battery circuit, also operating the instrument panel green signal light to indicate generator charge.
