Rectified Only (Non-Regulated) Systems
Some engines are equipped with a rectified only,
non-regulated charging system, with output ranging
from 0.2 amp to 18 amps. The rectifier is normally
connected to the engine with a matching wiring
harness and secured to the equipment with a single
mounting screw. Grounding is achieved through the
wiring harness. In certain other applications the
rectifier may be integrated within the basic engine
wiring harness. The rectifier converts AC voltage
coming from the stator to DC voltage only. The 3 amp
rectifier is shown in Figure 8-25.
