The generator serves as a source of electricity for the car when the engine is running. The main parts of the generator are the stator and the rotor

On the inside of the stator teeth there are 18 coils installed, made of insulated copper wire and connected in series, six pieces each, in three groups.

The groups are connected in a star circuit, three terminals from which go to the rectifier unit.

G273V generator set: 1 - make-up resistor; 2 - voltage regulator; 3 - brush holder; 4 - rotor; 5 - stator; 6 - cover; 7 - fan; 8 - pulley; 9 - rotor shaft; 10 - cover; 11 - slip ring

The rotor is a steel shaft, onto the corrugated surface of which two six-pointed steel magnetic cores are pressed.

Between them, an excitation winding made of insulated copper wire is installed on a steel sleeve.

On the rotor shaft there are two copper slip rings, isolated from the shaft and from each other. The ends of the excitation winding are soldered to them.

Copper-graphite brushes are pressed against the slip rings by springs.

Generator set G273V: 1 - pulley; 2 - fan; 3 - drive side cover; 4 - stator; 5 - rotor; 6 - rotor shaft; 7 - rectifier block; 8 - cover on the side of the slip rings; 9 - contact ring; 10 - bearing cover; 11 - make-up resistor; 12 - voltage regulator YA120M; 13 - brush holder; 14 - seasonal adjustment switch; a - section; c - voltage regulator

When the mass of the batteries and the instrument switch and starter are turned on in position “1” or “2”, the current from the battery passes through the brushes and slip rings into the field winding.

A magnetic flux is formed around the excitation winding screws, directed by the rotor magnetic cores.

When the rotor rotates, the magnetic flux that crosses the windings of the stator coils also rotates with it.

They generate alternating current (if the circuit is closed), which goes to the rectifier unit.

In this block it is converted into direct current, which goes to all consumers.

The brush holder of the generator set G 273V has a built-in small-sized voltage regulator Y120M, which is an integrated circuit. It serves to maintain the voltage generated by the generator within specified limits.

The regulator has four terminals.

With these terminals, the regulator is installed in the brush holder so that the terminals marked with the letters Ш, Д, В and Р lie on the conductive busbars.

The conductive terminal “B” of the voltage regulator is brought out and a wire is connected to it that powers the generator voltage regulation circuit.

The brush holder also contains a feed resistance, which serves to ensure reliable excitation of the generator at engine idle speed.

On the brush holder body there is a screw 10 for the seasonal voltage regulation. The screw has two positions: “L” - summer, “3” - winter.

When the screw is set to position “3”, the voltage maintained by the regulator is 1.5-3.0 V higher than with summer regulation, which is necessary to improve charging of batteries while increasing their internal resistance in winter conditions.</ p>

Brush holder: 1, 13 - fixing protrusions, 2 - screw for fastening the feed resistance; 3 - make-up resistance; 4 - brush holder; 5 - brush; 6 - current supply bus from the brush to terminal “D” of the regulator (terminal “O” of the regulator); 7 - screw of the current-carrying terminal "B" of the brush holder; 10 - seasonal voltage adjustment screw; 11 - current supply bus of terminal “P” of the brush holder; 12 - current supply bus of terminal “Ш” of the brush holder; 14 - integrated voltage regulator

The G 288 alternating current generator with electromagnetic excitation is also a three-phase twenty-pole electrical machine with a built-in rectifier.

The generator has the following terminals: “+” - for connecting batteries and load, “—” - for connecting to vehicle ground, “Ш” - for connecting to the “VK” terminal of the instrument switch and starter and the “Ш” terminal voltage regulator.

The voltage regulator built into the generator brush holder is assembled using an integrated circuit and serves for automatic Safely maintain the generator voltage within the specified limits necessary to ensure the charging mode of the battery and the operation of consumers.

The voltage regulator has a seasonal adjustment switch (see Fig. 2).

The adjustable voltage level of the generator in switch position L (summer) should be within 27-28 V, in position 3 (winter) - 28.8-30.2 V.

The generator is located in the upper front part of the engine and is attached with two legs to the bracket, and the third to the tension bar, and is driven by two V-belts.

The belts are tensioned by moving the generator. Generator drive ratio 2.41.

The generator has the following terminals:

  • "+" - for connecting the battery and load;
  • "-" - for connecting to the vehicle ground;
  • B - for connection to the VC terminal of the instrument switch and starter;
  • - plug on the housing for phase output.
