destroying the machine or surrounding equipment.
1.2 - Checks
On receipt of your alternator, check that it has not suffered
any damage in transit.
If there are obvious signs of knocks, contact the transporter
(you may be able to claim on their insurance) and after a
visual check, turn the machine by hand (if twin bearing) to
detect any malfunction.

2.1 - Electrical characteristics
The 8000 - 9000 series alternators are machines without
sliprings and revolving field brushes, wound as "2/3 pitch",6
wire, with class H insulation and a field excitation system
available in either "AREP" or "PMG" (see drawings).
