Best Answer

Regulation of rated voltage ensures sensitive components are not exposed to more voltage than they can handle and prevents costly part burnouts usually using mechanical or solid state circuit interrupters designed to trip at anything over the rated alternator or generator output.

Most also have an amperage regulator that works much like voltage regulators. These prevent excessive heat in wires not rated for higher amperage, which prevents many burnouts and fires.

If the generator or alternator outputs too much voltage or amperage it can destroy complex, expensive, and sensitive components or equipment, or cause electrical shocks, melted insulation, and fires. These problems are easily solved by relatively cheap, simple, and reliable but tightly regulated components.

Paralleling transformers will increase the effective capacity available to the load. There are important requirements before transformers can be paralleled, so it's simply not the case of connecting any two transformers in parallel.

What is the difference between Alternators and generators?

Generators produce electricity as direct current and Alternators produce electricity as alternating current. As alternators produce electricity more effeciently, and they are smaller and lighter and are used in modern vehicles.A generator creates direct current in the manufacture of power. An Alternator creates alternating current in the creation of power. Alternators can have diodes installed internally so that they have a D.C. output.


Do electrics work if alternators gone?

They do, but battery is not replenished so will discharge very quickly.
