Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Generator (Gen) (2006-2013): Design: Stator
The stator is fixed and consists of grooved plates which are insulated internally and pressed together onto a fixed plate unit. Stator winding coils are positioned in the grooves. They are delta connected at 120° and provide a three phase alternating current to the rectifier bridge.
The 150 A generator (GEN) has double stator windings in one unit to maintain a constant high current.
