With the engine off electrical consumers are supplied from the battery. When the engine power source is a generator.

Despite its small size, maintenance-alternator generates current fairly large force. At idle the engine unit produces about 25 A at a speed of 2400 min-1 reached its maximum capacity.

Brushes generator kept running more than 100 000 km. The generator is driven by a belt. Since in the vehicle alternating current can not be used, the generator installed diodes that convert alternating current to direct current. These diodes are susceptible to power surges. To even at low engine speeds to provide the necessary power generator rotates faster than the crankshaft. This increase in speed is achieved in that the diameter of the driving pulley of the generator is less than the diameter of the crankshaft pulley. On the other hand generator set voltage regulator.
