When car enthusiasts talk about electrical energy devices, the first thing they remember is a car battery. However, the main device of this system is a generator. Now all modern machines are equipped with valve devices. What is noteworthy, their design does not change depending on whether it is a foreign car or a domestic car. The difference is only in size and mounting locations.
VAZ-2106 generator: principle of operation
The operation of this design is based on the principle of generating alternating current in the stator windings under the influence of a magnetic field formed around the rotor core. Using a belt drive, the motor drives the rotor, and then voltage is applied to the winding of the part . Its voltage is sufficient to form a magnetic flux. When the core rotates, an EMF is induced in the stator winding. The magnetic flux, or rather its strength, depends on the configuration of the relay controller. At the output, the VAZ-2106 generator allows you to get a voltage of 13-14 volts. This is enough to ensure the normal operation of all electronic systems, including for recharging the battery. The battery and the VAZ-2106 starter will function normally for a long time, respectively, nothing will prevent the car from moving.
What does the generator consist of?
This device includes a number of mechanisms:
- Body . This element is the basis for the stator winding in such a part as a VAZ-2106 generator. The generator housing is made of duralumin and other alloy metals. It also has the so-called windows, which are used to cool the entire device during operation.
- Winding . It is made of copper wires laid in the grooves of the core. The latter has a round shape and consists of a special transformer iron, which gives it improved magnetic characteristics. The VAZ-2106 generator has 3 winding layers that are interconnected by a triangle.
- Rotor . This device is an electromagnet with one winding, which is located on the shaft of the part. There is a small core on top of it. Often the diameter of this part is 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the stator VAZ-2106.
- The characteristics and functions of the relay-regulator are to regulate and control the voltage that is supplied to the generator output. This part is an electronic circuit with outputs to the brushes. The regulator itself can be installed both in the generator housing and separately from it (in this case, the brushes are mounted on a special brush holder).
- Rectifier bridge . This mechanism includes 6 diodes with a current of more than 40 A. They are located on the plus and minus conductive base. Diodes are interconnected in pairs according to the Larionov circuit. This type of mount allows you to get the mechanism at the output is not a variable, but a constant voltage. By the way, motorists often call the rectifier bridge “horseshoe”. He got this name because of the characteristic placement of the diodes.
