How many types of AC generator are there?
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
Is there any physical difference between an AC induction motor and an alternator?
This from the "Induction motor" article in Wikipedia: "In principle, any AC electrical generator can be called an alternator." The only difference between an AC motor and an AC generator is whether one has electrical energy put in to get mechanical energy out, or whether one has mechanical energy put in to get electrical energy out. That means the answer to your question is basically, "There is no physical difference between an AC motor and an alternator." The unit in question can be used in either way, and assumes a name based on which way it is used.
How do you couple DC motor to alternator?
Shaft(rotor) of DC motor and Alternator(AC Generator) are alligned axially and radially to each other and connected.
What kind of electricity does an alternator make DC or AC?
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
How do you convert a DC generator to ac alternator?
Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .
What is another name for an alternator?
ac generator
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
How many types of AC generator are there?
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
I have the alternator just missing the wiring connection sheet how do you connect an alternator from a generator on a 12 volt system?
You wouldn't. Terminology wrong? An alternator is a generator that generates AC.
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
How do you convert a ac generator to dc generator?
The method used in cars is to have a 3-phase generator or alternator which is turned by the engine. Six diodes in a full-wave rectifier connect the alternator directly to the car's battery.

Which device is use to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Alternator = AC electricity Generator = DC electricity
How does the alternator recharge the battery?
An alternator is just a small generator that generates AC power and is converted to 12v DC power via a transformer for battery storage and use.
