Charging Systems: Alternators: Description

Fiat voltage regulators are of the dual stage vibrating contact type. An induction auxiliary coil, considerably smaller than the magnetizing coil, is mounted near contact side of the yoke. In addition to two regulating resistors, an additional resistor works in series with the main voltage coil. The regulator is grounded through the mounting flanges. Resistors are protected from impacts by a metal shield secured to mounting flange.
