SC Type Alternator

(2) Dual winding system
This system consists of two sets of three-phase windings whose phases are staggered 30°. Because the generated waves from the respective windings cancel out each other, magnetic noise is reduced.
(3) Hi side transistor
In the IC regulator adopted in the SC type alternator, Tr1 that regulates the rotor coil is installed at the high side.
HINT:
The circuit which has the switching element (transistors) at the positive (+) side opposed to the load (rotor coil) is called high side, while the circuit which has the devices at the negative (-) side is called low side.
