It states it is a revolving field, alternating current generator. The parts diagram refers to it as an alternator and I do not see any reference to brushes. Wouldn't there be brush access covers on the sides of the generator if it were a brush type? Also the fact it says it can generate 15kw constant and 16kw surge suggests to me it is a brushless type and brush type generators are much better at handling surge loads. As you probably can tell, I am not an electrician and only have a healthy desire to not be killed be electrocution. It is the exact same unit as sold by Harbor Freight and Torq and references the name "Segma" in the owner's manual. Pictures soon to be posted.
Any generator gurus please chime in with knowledge so I might gain some.
