Circuit Operation - Generator

The Saturn CS130 and CS121 generators are lightweight, high-performance machines that supplies electrical power for charging the battery and operating the accessories while the engine is running.

The generators are constructed essentially of a rotor mounted on hearings in two end frames, a stator assembly, six silicone diodes, an internally mounted voltage regulator, and an integral mounted shield. The generators develop AC voltages which are converted to DC current by means of a rectifier circuit.
