Charging System Fundamentals Chapter 34 Page 449 The Alternator System Diagram Battery Alternator The Alternator Locations Can Vary V- Belt Pulley Serpentine Belt Pulley Parts Breakdown Alternating Current (AC) The rotor is a shaft wrapped the wire, when a voltage is introduced– it produces an electromagnet The stator is a series of three wire wrappings that are stationary As the rotor turns in side the stator ring– current is induced (produced) making current flow Magnetic Field Rotor Alternator Rotor and Magnetic Poles Stator Voltage Output Patterns Positive Negative One stator winding 13 -14 volts All three windings Converted to positive only! Diodes One way check valve- allows current to flow in one direction but not in reverse This is how the negative voltage that is produced in the alternator is not allows to the battery. Sets are usually placed in a heat sink- they get extremely hot– the sink can dissipate this heat Electrical Connection Brushes allow for contact with rotor Power is controlled from the ignition switch Slip Rings and Brushes The Fan Draws Air From the Rear Through to the Front Cooling Internal Components Cooling Fan Voltage Regulator Maintain voltage between 13 and 15.5 volts Under 13 would not charge battery Over will overload the electrical circuits, especially computer controlled components. External voltage regulators were used until the 1980’s Internal regulators are used in many alternators On board computers have eliminated the need for regulators in today’s vehicles Your Job.
