The stator core is produced from insulated low loss
electrical grade sheet steel laminations. These are built
and welded under a fixed pressure to give an extre-
mely rigid core to withstand vibration and load impul-
ses. The complete wound stator is, after impregnation,
pressed into the frame and pinned into position.
The rotor assembly, which comprises the alternator
rotating field systems, the exciter rotating diode system
and the cooling fan. The complete rotor assembly is
dynamically balanced to ensure vibration-free running.
