BT GENERATOR SINGLE PHASE
DESCRIPDON
This generator is a
four~pole,
brushless,
self~xcited
generator
which requires only ·the driving force of
the
engine to pro-
duceAC output. The copt)er and laminated iron in the exciter
stator
are
responsible for
the
self~xciting
feature of this gen-
-erator. The magnetic field produced causes an
AC
voltage to
be
induced into the related exciter rotor windings during rota-
tion.Diodes located in the exciter rotor rectify this voltage to
DC
and supply
it
to
the
windings of the rotating field.
This ·
creates an electromagnetic field which rotates through.
the
windings of the main stator. fnducing

output of the main stator. An
AC
voltage is
protlticoo
in. the auxiliary windings of the
transformet:
and the
main stator and
is,
in turn, supplied to a full-wave bridge
rec-
tifier. The rectifier produces a
DC
voltage to further
excite
the exciter stator windings, enabling th-e generator to produce
. a rated AC output.

· Circuit Breaker
A
circuit
breaker
is installed on
all
WESTERBEKE
genera-
tors. This ch-cUit breaker will automatically disconnect gener-
ator
power in case of an electrical overload. The circuit .
breaker can
be
manually shut off when servicing the genera-
tor to ensure no
AC
power
is
coming froui-the generator to
the vessel.
