CHAPTER 2 - DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

2.1  Description

A.  General

(1)  Hartzell Engine Technologies (HET) small frame, gear and belt driven alternators have been designed 

and constructed to provide extended periods of trouble-free operation with a minimum amount 

of maintenance. They are intended to withstand the vibration and extreme temperature changes 

encountered in aircraft applications. Basic features are identified in Fig. 2.1 thru 2.20 below.

1. Through-Bolts (4 ea.)

5. Aux Terminal

2. Field Terminal

6. Output Terminal (+)

3. Ground Terminal (-)

7. Flexible Cooling Duct (ALV-9610 only)

4. Brush Assembly
