How can the phase rotation of one alternator be changed in relationship to the other alternator?
alternators will charge in either direction; they are three-phase systems fed through an internal rectifier, so it is irrelevant.
Which direction does an automotive alternator turn?
An alternator turns to the right, if facing pulley from side.
Will alternator still work if the gauge is not?
An alternator does not need a gauge to work. It is used to monitor the output of the alternator.
Why is it after the alternator was fixed your radio model A04012A doesn't work light comes on but nothing else?
I'm not exactly sure, but I have the same problem. My alternator was replaced and my radio does not work either, but the light comes on. Someone told me we have to go to the dealership and get the code put back in for the radio to work.
How do alternator diodes work?
Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only thus changing the alternating current produced inside the "alternator", to direct current which is required by your car's electrical system. Think of them as check valves for liquids. Denis
Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
Will an alternator work if its bad?
No, if it is bad of course it will not work.
Why do the turn signals only work half of the time on a 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue?
By half the time, do you mean one direction is bad, or either direction half the time? If one direction is off, it is probably the switch in the steering column. If it is either direction intermittent, try replacing the flasher. Hard to diagnose based on your description.
Why Honda accord alternator light stays on?
The light is on because the alternator is not putting out the required voltage. Either the belt is broken, loose, or the alternator is defective.
How do you adjust the alternator belt tension on diamante?
Loosen the alternator tensioner bolt. You will be able to slide the alternator either way to adjust the tension on the belt.
Will reverse rotation of an automotive alternator damage it?
No, most alternators with charge in either direction,, external fan type alternators may not cool as well when run in reverse, but you can find a bi-rotational fan.
If a car has a voltage regulator in the alternator does it still work if the cars off?
No, the regulator in the alternator only regulates when the alternator is charging (alternator must be rotating).
