SYSTEM CHECKS
Check the condition of the cables, isolation and connections.
lf the system does not recharge the battery, the cause may be one of
the following:
- stator winding grounded
- magnetized ring on flywheel demagnetized
- faulty rectifier
- battery ground interrupted
- battery polarity inverted.
ALTERNATOR
Special type with armature (stator), fitted on the engine crankcase, and
rotating inductor, housed in the flywheel. Check the inductor magnetization
and that the connections on the stator are correctly welded, not burned or
with grounded wires. Replace the inductor if faulty.
Check the continuity between the cables and the ground isolation using an
ohmmeter.
Check the efficiency of the alternator as follows:
- disconnect the rectifier wires;
- connect a 10/20 V.a.c. Voltmeter or a tester between the wires;
- start the engine and check that the voltage reading on the voltmeter or
tester corresponds to the values in the following table:
RPM Volts
2000 13.5 -14.5
2500
17 - 18
3000
20.5 - 22
3600
25 - 26
lf the voltage reading is less than these values, the rotating inductor is
partially demagnetized and will need to be replaced.
RECTIFIER
The rectifier should be checked in the following manner:
- check the efficiency of the connections
- connect a 10 A amperometer between the positive pole of the battery and the positive terminal of the rectifier
- connect a 20 V voltmeter between the battery poles
- allow the battery voltage to drop below 13 V, starting the engine a few times.
In the diagram in fig. 48 the current intensity flow is shown in relation to the variation of the engine r.p.m., with constant battery voltage
of 12.5 V and ambient temperature of +250 C. lf the charge is zero with 12.5 V battery tension, replace the rectifier and check the charge
conditions. lf the charge conditions remain unchanged, check the condition of the alternator.
IMPORTANT: The rectifier requires only a few seconds to be damaged if al lowed to function when disconnected from the battery.
