While "Tr1" remains on, the voltage across terminal "8"
increases. As the voltage exceeds the controlled voltage level
of 14.5
±
O.3V at 25°C· (77°F), it is detected by the "M.lC"
circuit which turns off "Tr1". As a result, the excitation
current for the rotor coil (2) is dampened by the counter
electromotive force absorbing diode "01", causing the
voltage across terminal "8" to fall.
If the voltage across terminal "8" falls below the controlled
M-B7
voltage level, it is detected by "M.IC" circuit which causes
"Tr1" to turn on again. Consequently, the excitation current
for the rotor coil (2) increases, causing the voltage across
terminal "8" to increase.
Thereafter, the operations described in the figures before
are repeated so that the voltage across terminal "8" is main
tained at the controlled level.
