THE GENERATOR CIRCUIT (FIGURE 12-4)
The generator circuit consists of the starter/generator, voltage regulator, solenoid, the battery, and connect-
ing wires.
When battery power is first supplied to the starter/generator, the starter/generator turns the engine at low
RPM (approx. 700). Once the engine starts running, it then drives the starter/generator. At any engine RPM
over 1215 (3000 starter/generator RPM), the starter/generator functions as a generator, supplying charging
current to the battery. To prevent battery overcharging, the voltage regulator senses battery voltage, and by
opening and closing an electronic switch, it controls the amount of charge going to the battery.
ENGINE IGNITION CIRCUIT
The engine ignition circuit is independent of all other circuits except the kill circuit. It consists of the ignition
coil (with internal igniter), spark plug, RPM limiter, and connecting wires (Figure 12-5).
