CS-144 Generator:




CS 144 Generator Cross Sectional View:




There are two types of generators used on the G Van and Cutaways. The CS-130D and the CS-144. The ambulance package will consist of two CS-130D generators with the main generator mounted on the right of the engine and the auxiliary generator mounted on the left of the engine. The CS stands for Charging System and 130 and 144 indicates the relative sizes of the generators and represents the outside diameter of the stator laminations.

The "D" in the CS-130D indicates that the Dual Internal Fan (DIF) design is used. These generators feature a built-in regulator, delta stators, rectifier bridges, and rotors with slip rings and brushes. Conventional pulleys are used. The CS-130D features two internal fans to cool internal components. The CS-144 has an external fan on the drive end to provide cooling. The CS-130D generator is serviceable by complete replacement only; the CS-144 may be repaired.
