Stator Assembly

The stator can houses and retains (a) dual AC power windings, (b) an excitation winding, and (c) two bat- tery charge windings. A total of thirteen (13) stator leads are brought out of the stator can as shown in Figure 3-3.

The stator can is sandwiched between an engine adapter and a rear bearing carrier. It is retained in that position by four stator studs.

Brush Holder and Brushes

The brush holder is retained to the rear bearing car- rier by means of two Taptite screws. A positive (+) and a negative (-) brush are retained in the brush holder, with the positive (+) brush riding on the slip ring near- est the rotor bearing.

Wire 4 connects to the positive (+) brush and Wire 0 to the negative (-) brush. Wire 0 connects to frame ground. Rectified and regulated excitation current, as well as current from a field boost circuit, are delivered to the rotor windings via Wire 4, and the positive (+) brush and slip ring. The excitation and field boost cur- rent passes through the windings and to frame ground via the negative (-) slip ring and brush, and Wire 0. This current flow creates a magnetic field around the rotor having a flux concentration that is proportional to the amount of current flow.

Other AC Generator Components

Some AC generator components are housed in the generator control panel enclosure. These are (a) an Excitation Circuit Breaker, (b) a Voltage Regulator, and (c) a main line circuit breaker.

EXCITATION CIRCUIT BREAKER:

The Excitation Circuit Breaker (CB2) is housed in the generator control panel enclosure and electrically connected in series with the excitation (DPE) wind- ing output to the Voltage Regulator. The breaker is self-resetting, i.e.; its contacts will close again when excitation current drops to a safe value.

If the circuit breaker has failed open, excitation current flow to the Voltage Regulator and, subsequently, to the rotor windings will be lost. Without excitation cur- rent flow, AC voltage induced into the stator AC power windings will drop to a value that is commensurate with the rotor residual magnetism (see Figure 3-5).

5308, 4583, 4451 & 4986, 4582 & 4987 specifications

Guardian Technologies has carved a niche in the market with its innovative air purification and UV-C sanitization products. The company's model numbers, including 4582, 4987, 4451, 4986, 4583, and 5308, represent a diverse range of solutions designed to enhance indoor air quality and safety in both residential and commercial settings.

The Guardian Technologies 4582 is equipped with a true HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of dust, pollen, smoke, and other particles as small as 0.3 microns. This model features a smart sensor that adjusts the fan speed according to the air quality in real-time. The UV-C light technology integrated into this device works to eliminate viruses and bacteria, providing an additional layer of protection against airborne pathogens.

The 4987 model follows suit with similar advanced features but adds a sleek design ideal for modern interiors. With multiple speed settings and a night mode, the 4987 is perfect for bedrooms or quiet spaces. Its energy-efficient operation coupled with an indicator that signals filter replacement ensures that users maintain optimal performance effortlessly.

The Guardian Technologies 4451 and 4986 models are particularly notable for their enhanced capacity and filtration efficiency. Both units incorporate a three-in-one filtration system that includes a pre-filter, activated charcoal filter, and HEPA filter. With their strategic design, these models not only purify the air but also trap common household odors, making them a popular choice for families with pets.

The 4583 model stands out with a unique combination of design and functionality. It features a low-profile design, making it easy to fit into any space. Its UV-C light technology not only disinfects air but can also sanitize surfaces, bridging the gap between air purification and direct sanitation.

Finally, the Guardian Technologies 5308 caters to larger spaces, offering impressive air circulation and filtration capabilities. Equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a powerful fan, it effectively cleans larger areas while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.

In summary, Guardian Technologies’ products exemplify a commitment to improving air quality and promoting health through innovative technology. With features like HEPA filtration, UV-C sanitization, smart sensors, and sleek designs, consumers can choose from a range of models that best fit their needs, ensuring cleaner, safer indoor environments.
