Generators have an internal fan and electronic voltage regulator. Voltage regulator is part of the brush holder assembly. See Figure. Voltage regulator incorporates temperature compensation circuitry, so battery charging voltage is maintained at the optimum level. Charging system voltage is maintained within an operating range of 14.1-14.7 volts.

NOTE: The terms generator and alternator are interchangeable. Either may be found within illustrations.
