the specifications at the end of this section for in-
formation on correct generator rating for a specific
mode1 series.
The circuit breaker, vo1tage regu1ator, and current-
1imiting regu1ator are bui1t into one combination
unit. Because the regu1ator and battery are part
of the generator circuit, the output of the generator
depends upon the state of charge and temperature
of the battery. With a discharged battery, the
output will be high, decreasing proportionally as
the battery becomes charged. For service informa-

1-23. Description and Operation
For rep1acement, vo1tage regu1ator and generator
must be matched for vo1tage and capacity, polarity,
and common source of manufacture. Otherwise,
either a 10ss of ampere capacity or a burned out
generator will resu1t.
These regu1ators are used with shunt-type gen-

function to perform. These units are the circuit
