4. DESCRIPTION
Stator
The stator is the external stationary portion of the generator that actually provides the electricity for
distribution to the load(s). It is composed of several individual coils of copper wire distributed and wound
such that the magnetic field associated with the rotor passes over and around the coils and in turn
produces an electric potential (voltage) that is used as the supply voltage to the load(s). This stator also
houses the stationary coils used as the exciter stator for the generator field exciter. The stator is bolted
directly to the flywheel housing of the engine. The end bracket and end cover are bolted directly to the
end of the stator opposite to where the stator is bolted to the flywheel housing.
16
4. DESCRIPTION
Rotor
The rotor is the portion of the generator bolted directly to the crankshaft of the engine so that it rotates
at the same speed that the engine crankshaft is rotating. The opposite end of the rotor is supported by
the generator end bracket using a single ball bearing. The rotor has the field coils attached to it. The
amount of current through the field coils determines the strength of the rotating magnetic field being
used to generate a potential in the stator and therefore determines the output voltage of the generator.
Field coil current is regulated by the exciter output, which is in turn regulated by the automatic voltage
regulator. The rotating portion of the exciter is also mounted on the rotor.
