Depends on what kind of Race Car. Circle Dirt Track Race Cars Between races. Asphalt cars have alternators. Race cars have alternators that keep the battery charged while racing. Some dirt track cars have alternators some asphalt cars don't have alternators. Need more specifics.
To keep the battery recharged and to help run all the electronics on the vehicle.
Spike in electrical system look for loose ground wire or loose connection that is building excessive resistance (heat)
Yes, all modern cars have alternators.
Cars don't use generators because the batery is already generating energy. They use alternators in order to convert the energy generated into a usable form.
Physically, yes. However, where alternators differ, is in the produced, amps. If both cars have equal electrical amenities, then it will work.
Can be because of a bad battery, or overloading the charging system with extra accessories (like aftermarket stereos), or jump starting either that car or other cars with that car. If none of the above there may be a short or other electrical problem. Sometimes vehicles just have bad designed alternators that don't live long, or the rebuilders don't replace enough of the components to successfully give you a good part. Try a new not rebuilt part if you can and see if that doesn't work better.
Hey C==The blower motor probably is dragging causing it to use excessive amps hence blowing the fuse. Replace it. Go to a parts store and have the alternator checked out. New alternators go bad just like old ones do. GoodluckJoe
This will not work on many OBD (compterized) cars. The engine will die shortly after disconnecting the battery cable. The computer must be power by the battery.
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 produce Direct Current, Generators produce Alternating Current. Todays' cars have Alternators to charge the batteries.
alternators are used in cars and generators are used for you know everything else
