VW T4 is equipped with the 3-phase generator of alternating current. Depending on model and equipment generators can be installed various power. Power is specified on the current plate on the generator.
Prevention
The generator is set in motion from the crankshaft by a maple belt. At the same time the rotor with a winding of excitement rotates in a motionless winding of the stator with a speed twice exceeding the speed of rotation of the engine.
On graphitic brushes, a collector, a winding of excitement excitement current, forming magnetic field proceeds.
Position of magnetic field concerning a stator winding constantly changes, according to rotation of a rotor. At the same time in a winding of the stator alternating current is created.
As the rechargeable battery can be charged only with a direct current, alternating current via the diode rectifier will be transformed to constant. The regulator of tension changes charging current inclusion and switching off of current of excitement, according to a charging condition of the rechargeable battery. At the same time the regulator supports to constants working voltage about 14 V irrespective of engine turns.
Precautionary measures at the handling of the generator
During the works in the electrical system, in a motor compartment, always to disconnect a weight(s) cable from the rechargeable battery.
Not to confuse a cable of the regulator of tension and the generator. Before a detachment to mark cables with an adhesive tape.
Not to disconnect the rechargeable battery or the regulator of tension at the working engine.
Not to remove the generator at the connected rechargeable battery.
When carrying out electrowelding works by cars always to disconnect the rechargeable battery.
