How to check the generator without special equipment

course of major repair of the generator not shown to produce their own hands, but we can always provide the check.The most important component is testing the meter, or as it is called, tester.

now beginning to work with the test controller relays.How to check the generator tester?Very simple.Take a multimeter and set the switch to "dimension".Winding machine and measure the battery voltage, and the outputs of the generator.Its component should reach no more than 14.2 V. Next is pressing the accelerator and re-measured the voltage.Abnormality even polvatta up is malfunction of the regulator.

generator also includes a diode bridge, which also needs to be checked.In this case, switch the meter mode "Sound" and begin to carry out the inspection.It should be noted that this item includes 6 diodes are divided into 2 equal parts - both positive and negative.When testing will occur squeak.But it is worth noting that the test should be carried out in both directions.If squeaking occurs in both cases, it is necessary to replace the item, as it symbolizes the fact that the bridge is broken.

now learn how to check the generator, namely part - the rotor and stator, without which his work is inconceivable.To start Disconnect stator leads from the diode bridge.Since it is a cylinder with an internal coil, you should first make a visual inspection.Next taken Multimeter mode is activated and "resistance measurement".Functioning winding will tend to infinity on the scale of the device, but the evidence is less than 50 kW mean soon replace the generator.

How to check the generator stator and more than understandable, but with the rotor a little more difficult to handle.What is this device?This inner metal rod with an excitation winding, on one of its sides are arranged slip rings by means of which there is a sliding brushes thereon.Just like the stator, the rotor after extraction must be inspected for injury.Best of all, how to check the generator, to learn from people who know, or go to a mechanics, since the rotor is preferably subjected to inspection on specialized equipment.Brushes that are posted on this part, have a certain amount of projection of the holder, which is not more than 5 mm.Also it is necessary to assess whether they are moving freely in the holder, and if they are not worn.When installing the generator in place to do so with caution and carefully checked.

also how to check generator VAZ, can be found in the literature.Do not forget about checking the generator bearings, because of their irregular work can lead to serious damage.When you wear these items occurs characteristic noise that can be heard clearly, even if you nahodtes next to the car.Wear can be caused by improper belt tension generator.

Well, now we know a little bit about how to check the generator on its own, and it is better to seek professional help.
