20 AMP reGulATed AlTerNATor
The 20 amp regulated alternator system provides AC current
through two output leads to the regulator-rectifier. The regula-
tor-rectifier converts the AC current to DC, and regulates the
current to the battery. The charging rate will vary with engine
RPM and temperature.
The stator, regulator-rectifier and flywheel are NOT inter-
changeable with any other alternator system.
WHEN CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR COMPONENTS,
MAKE THE TESTS IN THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:
ALTERNATOR OUTPUT TEST:
Temporarily, disconnect stator wire harness from
regulator-rectifier.
1. Insert RED test lead into
receptacle in meter.
2. Insert BLACK test lead into
receptacle in meter.
3. Rotate selector to
(AC volts) position.

Figure 7-1. Testing AC Output
4. Attach RED and BLACK test lead probes to AC output
terminals (white wires), as shown in Figure. 7-1.
(Meter test clip leads may be attached to either AC
output terminal.)
5. With the engine running at 3600 RPM, output should be
no less than:
26 volts - 20 Amp System
6. If no or low output is found, check for bare wires or any
other obvious defects. If "shorted" leads are not visible,
replace the stator.
TESTING DC OUTPUT CHARGING WIRE:
A simple test may be performed to test the DC output
charging wire circuit. If a problem exists in the wiring it can
be corrected before testing regulator-rectifier.

regulator-rectifier.
Equipment keyswitch must be in OFF position.
1. Insert RED test lead into
receptacle in meter.
2. Insert BLACK test lead into
receptacle in meter.
3. Rotate selector to
(DC volts) position.
4. Attach RED test lead probe to DC output wire terminal
(Red Wire), Figure 7-2.
5. Attach BLACK test lead probe to negative battery
terminal.
6. Turn equipment keyswitch to ON position. Meter should
display battery voltage.
7. If meter does not display battery voltage, check for blown
fuse or broken or shorted wires.
Figure 7-2. Testing DC Output Wire
TESTING REGULATOR-RECTIFIER:
1. Using a digital multimeter, test the battery voltage while
the engine is NOT running.
