The generator - general information

The BMW car of the 5th series has the generator of alternating current. Depending on model of the car and its equipment generators of nominal current 80 and 140 can be installed And.

The generator is set in motion by the engine through maple a belt. The rotor and the stator of the generator have windings (at a rotor an excitement winding).

Electric current to a winding of excitement of a rotor arrives through brushes and contact rings and creates the electromagnetic field in the generator.

The electromagnetic field of a rotor at its rotation changes situation therefore in windings of the stator electric current is formed.

As the rechargeable battery is charged only with a direct current, alternating current will be transformed in constant by means of the rectifier which is on a diode payment. The regulator of tension changes charge current by inclusion and switching off of current of excitement, depending on degree of a razryazhennost of the rechargeable battery. At the same time the regulator supports to constants working voltage of 14 V, irrespective of engine speed.
