Bradley Description: This Generator, Direct CU is used on the Bradley Family of Vehicles. The carrier electrical system has four batteries and charging, regulating and monitoring equipment. The batteries rovide power to start the engine and operate the electrical system when the engine is not running. Subsystems include the carrier lights, instruments and indicators, chemical air filtration, heater, and fire detection system. Two 300 ampere DC generators are driven by the power pack.

The first generator is driven by a power-takeoff on the transmission and provides power for the carrier and charges the carrier batteries. The second generator is engine-mounted and is driven by a belt/pulley set up off the crankshaft. The second generator supplies the launcher with power during firing and charges the launcher batteries after firing.

If the second generator cannot supply enough power to the launcher, the first generator can supply additional power, as needed, via the power relay box and wiring harness 1W11. The PTO generator (gear driven) is the primary generator, and the engine (belt driven) is the secondary generator. Technical Data is not available for this procurement. Procurement is source controlled to C.E.

Niehoff (CAGE: 76761). Note that this is not a request for proposal.
