GENERATOR [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]

Purpose, Function

• The generator operates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt and generates the required electricity for electronic devices.

Construction

• The generator is located on the left front side of the engine.

  

• The generator consists of the following parts:

  

• Output control is performed by the PCM resulting in the simplification of the regulator component construction.

• Two delta connection type stator coils have been adopted.

  

• The two stator coils form the circuit having a phase difference, and magnetic pull, which operates between the rotor (field coil) and stator coil by the phase difference, is theoretically eliminated. Due to this, electromagnetic vibration and generator operation noise (electromagnetic noise) have been reduced.

• Pulsation occurring through voltage rectifying using two stator coils having a phase difference is minimized and stable voltage output is supplied.

  

Operation

• For generator control details, refer to CONTROL SYSTEM. (See GENERATOR CONTROL [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)
