What kind of alternator does a Jaguar E type have?
JaguarE-Type Alternator System Explained. The E-Type alternator (Lucas 11AC) and associated control circuitry seemto be surrounded in mystery. In this article, the design of the alternatorcircuit will be explained in detail, with some trouble shooting tips. First, we will discuss how an alternator works.
How do you wire a 1 wire alternator?
Simply connect one wire from the positive battery terminal to the positive alternator terminal. It’s that easy! #1 (Left terminal) NO CHARGE WARNING LIGHT Note that our 1-wire alternators 7127, 7139 and 7140 permits the use of a no charge warning/dashboard indicator light. To wire a warning light, remove the terminal plug cover
Where are the slip rings on a Lucas alternator?
This is accomplished with two copper contacts, called slip rings. On a Lucas alternator, these are located on the back of the field coil. Power reaches them through two carbon contacts, which are mounted in a plastic support on the rear of the alternator case. Let’s take a closer look.
Where does the power from the alternator come from?
Power to the field coil comes from the positive post of the battery via the slip ring. But if all available current was fed to the field coil, the alternator would generate too much output voltage. It’s the job of the 4TR voltage regulator to keep the alternator “under control”.

Is there wiring diagram for XKE Series 1?
The wiring diagram is very similar to the link (I believe) xkedata.com/pdf/42wiring.pdf shown above. I am finding out there a some discrepancies between the series 1 and 1.5 and 2.

What kind of wiring is used for an alternator?
This style of alternator wiring is called a “wye” or “star”, for obvious reasons. It has the advantage of producing relatively high voltage at low RPM’s, one of the key reasons to use an alternator. Note that there is a pair of diodes for each stator coil.
