DESCRIPTION

The

BC

generator

is

a brushless, self-excited generator

which

requires

only

the

driving

force

of the engine

to

produce

an

AC

output.

The stator houses two

sets

of

windings;

the

main

stator windings

and

the exciter

windings.

When

the

generator

is

started,

residual magnetism

in

the four rotating poles

induces a current in the stator which

then

generates

an

even

larger current

in

the exciter windings.

This

mutual

build

up

of

current

in

the

four

rotating

poles

and

in

the

exciter

windings

quickly

reaches

the

saturation point of the capacitor(s)

and

a

regulated

energy

field

is

then

maintained in the

stator.

At the

same

time,

this

regulated

field

produces a steady

voltage

in

the

stator

windings

which

can then

be

drawn off

the

genera-

tor's

AC

terminals

to

operate

AC

equipment.

The

generator is

a single-phase, reconncctable

Refer

to

the

SPECIFICATIONS

section of

this

manual

for

generator rat-

ings.

The

generator's data plate

gives

the

voltage,

current

and

frequency

rating of the generator.

An

AC

wiring

decal

is

affixed

to

the

inside of the louvered cover

at

the

generator

end.

A diagram of

the

various

AC

voltage

connections

is

pro-

vided

on

the

decal.

An

Integral Controller

(IC)

is

mounted

inside

the

generator

and

supplies a continuous

DC

charge

to

the

generators starting battery

when

the generator

is

running.

Circuit

Breaker

A circuit breaker

is

installed

on

all

single phase

WESTERBEKE generators. This circuit breaker

will

auto-

matically disconnect generator power

in

case of

an

electrical

overload.

The

circuit breaker can be manually shut off

when

servicing

the

generator

to

ensure that

no

power

is

coming

into the

boat.

NOTE:

This

circuit

breaker

is

available

as

a

VVESTERBEKE

add-on

kit for earlier model

generators;

contact your

WESTERBEKE

dealer.
