5-7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHARGING SYSTEM
The circuit of the charging system is indicated in figure, which is composed of the AC generator, regulator / rec-
tifier unit and battery. The AC current generated from the AC generator is converted by the rectifier and is
turned into the DC current, then it charges the battery.

◉ FUNCTION OF REGULATOR
While the engine rpm is low and the generated current of the AC generator is lower than the adjusted voltage of
the regulator, the regulator does not function, incidentally the generated current charges the battery directly.
