The Alternator

Sectional drawing of the MZ alternator (12K)

The alternator is a three-phase 8 pole synchronous generator in star connection.

The rotor carrying the exciter winding and the slip rings is fastened to the taper end of the crankshaft.
The stator accommodating the polyphase winding is centred in the engine casing and together with an aluminium die casting cap carrying the contact breakers and the carbon brushes, fastened by 3 screws through the outside casing of the stator.

The exciter current for the creation of the magnetic field is branched off the stator windings and rectified by three additional exciter diodes and 3 negative power diodes.

The excitation current is fed to the excitation winding from terminal 61 via the regulator, the carbon brushes and the slip rings.

The MZ alternator has good self excitation properties and operation without a battery is possible.
