TM 9-2920-258-30&P CHAPTER 3 ALTERNATOR REPAIR 3-1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The rotor assembly (1) produces lines of force. It is electrically excited by battery current passing through small brushes (2) riding on smooth slip rings. The stator assembly (3) contains the windings in which AC voltage is produced. The stator assembly is stationary, so the windings are not subjected to centrifugal force. The current is delivered at the connector assembly (4). 3-2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The procedures discussed in this chapter cover disassembly, inspection and assembly of the Alternator. Disassemble only to the point required to inspect, clean and replace the damaged component(s). Exercise good judgment in following the overall disassembly procedures only to the extent required. 3-1
