DESCRIPTION
Bosch alternators are conventional three-phase, self-rectifying type alternators. Nine rectifier diodes are connected to the stator windings (three to each phase lead). The diodes change the alternator to A.C. voltages to D.C. voltages coming out of the "B+" and the "D+", terminals of the alternator.
ON-VEHICLE TESTING
NOTE - Off-vehicle testing is explained as part of Overhaul procedure in this article.
WIRING CONTINUITY TEST
Disconnect terminal plug from rear of alternator and connect a voltmeter negative terminal to ground. With ignition "ON", connect positive lead to each of the connector wires, in turn. Voltmeter should read battery voltage as each positive connection is made. If proper voltage is not read, trace each wire to find fault.
VOLTAGE DROP TEST - GROUND SIDE
Connect voltmeter between negative terminal of battery and alternator housing. Start engine and run at approximately 3000 RPM. If voltmeter reading exceeds .25 Volts, a high resistance in negative side of charging circuit is indicated. If so check for loose, dirty, or corroded connections.
OUTPUT TEST
Disconnect terminal plug from rear of alternator and connect ammeter, in series, between alternator center terminal and corresponding socket in terminal plug. Also connect a jumper lead between the "D+" terminal and its corresponding socket in terminal plug. Start engine and run at approximately 3000 RPM. Turn on headlights and leave on for five minutes. Ammeter should read maximum alternator amperage at normal operating temperature.
REGULATOR CONTROL VOLTAGE TEST
Connect a voltmeter between main terminals of battery. Connect an ammeter, in series, between "B+" terminal of alternator and corresponding terminal of connector plug. Start engine and increase speed to approximately 3000 RPM. Run engine until charging rate falls below 10 amps. The voltmeter should then read 14.1-14.4 Volts. If these readings are not obtained, replace regulator.
NOTE - The test cables should not be removed or the load excessively reduced during the testing procedure. Considerable load variations may damage the diodes. The control lamp should not go on at any time during the test.

OVERHAUL
DISASSEMBLY
LIFTING CARBON BRUSHES
(0 120 400 600 Series)

NOTE - On 0 120 400 600 series alternators, lift carbon brushes with a hook and secure them, prior to disassembly (see illustration).
1) Remove nut, pulley, hub and key. Mark location of alternator in blower housing. Unscrew brush plate assembly and remove from alternator. Remove bolts from end frame, then remove frame and field rotor. Press rotor out of end frame. Press ball bearing off rotor. Remove insulating conduit from wires and cut wires as close to soldered joints as possible.
2) The diodes may be tested at this point, prior to further disassembly. Care should be exercised with insulating bushings under positive diode carrier. To remove negative carrier, extract threaded studs. When one rectifying diode has been damaged due to short circuiting, the three complementing diodes must be replaced also. Unscrew nuts on both "B+" terminal bolts and lift positive diode carrier (heat sink) up and back.


TESTING & REPAIRING
Diode Assemblies - Test diodes with a suitable alternator tester (EFAW 192) before dismantling slip CAUTION - Do not lay positive diode carrier on housing or false reading will be obtained. Disconnect conductor from "D+" to the exciter diodes at the exciter diodes heat sink. Unscrew stator lead and negative diode connections. Unscrew exciter diodes heat sink and remove together with positive diodes heat sink.
INSTALLATION OF DIODE
ring end frame further.
NOTE - Before further testing, lightly clean all components in gasoline or trichlorethlene, but do not soak.
Stator - Test stator for short circuits to ground, using suitable tester (EFAW 84). Test voltage should be 40V AC. Measure resistance of stator windings between phase connections. See Specifications for proper value.
Rotor - 1) Test claw pole rotor for short circuits to ground. Test voltage should be 40V AC. Measure resistance of exciter (field coil) in rotor ohmmeter. See Specifications for proper value. Turn down slip rings on a lathe, using suitable tailstock chuck (EFAW 75 or GDF 85 R 3).
2) After turning, check conentricity of slip rings with dial gague. Runout should not exceed .001" (.03 mm). Minimum diameter of slip rings may be 1.25" (31.5 mm). Maximum runout of pole wheel must not exceed .002" (.05 mm).
Diode Replacement - 1) On all except 0 120 400 600 series alternators, set diode plate on press die and force diodes out with plunger. Place diode plate (without diodes) onto suitable guide pilot (EFLJ 57 /0 /5) and set diode seat with suitable sleeve (EFLJ 57 /0 /3). Smear silicone oil on diode seat, place diode plate on press die and press diodes into position. After pressing in, test all diodes.
2) On 0 120 400 600 series alternators, set slip ring end frame on press die and force out defective diode. Coat diode seat with silicone oil and press in new diode. Test all diodes after replacement.
Drive End Frame - Check ball bearings for wear and replace as necessary. Lubricate bearings on one side. Press ball bearing into drive end frame with shielded side downward. Screw on retainer plate. Press ball bearing onto rotor (slip ring end), then press drive end frame onto rotor.
Carbon Brushes - Unsolder and replace carbon brushes. Do not allow solder to run into copper strands of brush leads. Maximum brush lenth is .55" (15 mm). After installation of new brushes, test for free movement.
REASSEMBLY & TESTING
1) On all except 0120 400 600 series alternators (steps 1 through 4), fir negative diodes heat sink and clamps. Screw in double end bolts (shorter threads outward). NOTE - Left clamp is longer than right. Replace insulating washers and bushings. Test terminal bolt "B+" for short circuit to ground. Test voltage should be 80V AC.
2) Position positive diodes heat sink (carrier) and secure with insulating and spring washers. NOTE - Use insulating cap No. 1 120 502 000 instead of insulating washer on bolt next to terminal marked "D+/61". Tighten hex nuts.
3) Place stator in slip ring end frame. Draw positive and negative diode leads together and lip through an insulating sleeve. Push sleeve over lead of exciter diode and stator connection cable. Crimp a metal ring around end of leads and solder. Cut off any excess wire protruding through ring. Reposition wiring and attach in holding clamps.
4) Slide insulating sleeve over exciter diode terminal. Insulating sleeves of stator connection lead must project over edge of negative diodes heat sink. Clamp connections firmly.
5) On 0 120 400 600 series alternators (steps 5 through 7), test both "B+" terminal bolts for short circuit to ground. Test voltage should be 80V AC. Before fitting exciter diodes heat sink (carrier), solder three positive diode terminal leads onto heat sink from below.
6) After fitting exciter diodes heat sink, solder stator leads, negative and exciter diodes to the "COMB". NOTE - Use caution, do not overheat negative diodes. Install brush holder. Raise and secure carbon brushes before installing. Screw conductor "D+" onto exciter diodes heat sink.
7) Place wave spring washer into ball bearing fit. Rub ball bearing seat with suitable lubricant. Insert rotor with drive end bearing into slip ring end frame and secure with screws. Position positive diodes heat sink and secure. Springs are to be set onto carbon brushes by pressing on brush with a screwdriver. Brush springs pressure will seat brushes automatically.

8) Rub suitable lubricant into ball bearing seat of slip ring end frame. Install claw pole rotor with drive end frame. Check position of stator relative to end frame. Position brush holder plate. Tighten screws. Install fan belt pulley. Coat newly installed positive diodes with chlorinated rubber lacquer.
