Spike in electrical system look for loose ground wire or loose connection that is building excessive resistance (heat)
Actually it is bled off to ground but because of a very well designed regulation system in most alternators, there really isn't anything excess. When it is not being drawn from the alternator, it goes to the battery.
there is the 'Y' type and the 'Delta' type. Delta type alternators are more common due to their high amperage rating and smaller, more compact design
In a grid system all the alternators run in parallel, locked together in frequency.
Alternators provide all the power for the vehicle as it is running. With newer cars, alternators are linked to the car's computer system, which many of the car's functions are evaluated from the voltage supplied by the alternator.
alternators are classified as stators and rotors
There are grounding problems on 1999 to 2003 Lincoln Town cars causing alternators not to charge properly and running batteries down. We replaced 3 alternators and 1 battery. We checked all ground straps on chassis/frame/engine and couldn't find exact location of ground strap that was defective. Also checked fuses and made sure all switches off in car especially heater/AC. Improvised by installing a new ground strap from engine ground to chassis/battery ground. System now charging properly, alternator output 13.5v to 14.5+v.
Firstly, no you must not pick the particular Alternators
The mowers do not have alternators. The engines have a charging system built into them under the flywheel. They are specific to the engine manufacturer.
This question is not clear since alternators produce alternating current.
Make sure the alternators are properly installed and aligned.
