Overheating/overworking the alternator expecting to charge a run down battery. Alternators are designed to maintain a battery not for charging a dead one.

In the generation of electricity commutator would be used on an alternating current generator and slip rings would be used on a direct current generator?

No. Just the opposite. An AC alternator uses slip rings, a DC generator uses a commutator. Most modern auto alternators are in fact AC alternators that rectify the AC output to DC using a diode bridge.


Effect of putting a leaked diode in a circuit?

The effect is quite simple, to be honest. When putting a leaked diode in a circuit, it will cause the other ones to break down.


What will cause an alternator to undercharge?

It is defective. More than likely a diode it burnt out.


Where is the diode in the alternator?

The diode pack in most alternators is directly behind where the main wires come into the unit. Usually plugged in and often held by one or two screws. This part's main function is to convert the AC voltage produced by the alternator to a DC voltage slightly higher than battery voltage.Unbolt both cables from the battery before working on the alternator


What is the purpose of an exciter diode in an alternator?

There are three exciter diodes on all alternators. They are connected to the stator windings. The purpose of the diodes is twofold. While the engine is running, it turns off the alternator indicator light and supplies power to the voltage regulator.
