The stator consists of a series of coils of wire laid in a
laminated steel frame. The stator leads supply voltage
to the AC load and exciter regulator.
Leads 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the generator output leads.
Leads 33, 44, and 55 are the voltage regulator supply
and sensing leads. The output of leads B1 and B2 are
rectified by BR1 to supply the control voltage. BR1 is
located on the controller circuit board.
Prior to testing, inspect the stator for heat discoloration
and visible damage to the housing lead wires or
exposed and varnished areas of the frame laminations.
Be sure the stator is securely fastened in the stator
housing.
The stator produces electrical output (AC) as the
magnetized main field rotates within the stator windings.
Test the condition of the stator according to the following
procedure. Refer to the schematic in Figure 7-13 when
performing the following tests.

Stator Test Procedure
1. Check the generator output lead connections. See
Section 10, Voltage Reconnection and Wiring
Diagrams.

2. Disconnect all the stator leads to isolate the
windings. To check the stator continuity, set the
ohmmeter on the R x 1 scale. Contact the red and
the
black ohmmeter leads; adjust the ohmmeter to
zero ohms.

shown in Figure 7-13. Perform the stator tests on
all the stator windings. See Figure 7-14.

resistance of the stator windings by connecting the
meter leads to the stator leads 1 and 2, 3 and 4,
B1 and B2, etc. See Section 1, Specifications, for
the stator resistance values. Replace the stator if
readings do not fall within the specified value.
Note: The stator resistance will vary directly with
increased temperature.
