11. Starting System

General
D A compact and lightweight PS (Planetary reduction-Segment conductor motor) type starter is used.
D Because the PS type starter contains an armature that uses square-shaped conductors, and its surface
functions as a commutator, its output torque has been improved and its overall length has been reduced.
D In place of the field coil used in the conventional type starter, the PS type starter uses two types of
permanent magnets: main magnets and interpolar magnets. The main magnets and interpolar magnets
have been efficiently arranged to increase the magnetic flux and to shorten the length of the yoke.
