It converts the mechanical energy of the rotating engine into electrical energy to charge the battery. It as also powers accessories.
substitute
It controls the output voltage.
It generates electricity to chrage the automobile battery.
A rectifier turns the Alternating Current (AC) produced by the Alternator into Direct Current (DC) that your car uses.
The function of the altenator regulator is to regulate voltage to the ecm to avoit any damage to critical component
To control the alternator's output voltage under varying loads.In simple terms it regulates the voltage being sent to the battery.
You can have the alternator tested free of charge at just about any major auto parts store. By the way, a bad alternator will not "discharge" a battery - the alternator's function is to provide the charge to the battery. If the alternator is faulty, then it is not providing the charge necessary to keep other components from discharging the battery. I had the alternator tested and it was charging. If the alternator has a bad diode, it will discharge the battery. I replaced the alternator and everything is fine.
The stator is the stationary winding assembly that makes the magnetic field inside the alternator. It is this magnetic field that the armature rotates in generating the electricity.
to keep your battery charge and help provide your vehicle electricity
to crank the engine and then function as a capacitor for unused electrical energy when the alternator is running
The primary function of alternators is to generate electricity to recharge a car battery. The alternator recharges the battery while the car is being used.
No a car cannot run without the alternator installed. All the components in a car have their specific function and any missing piece will cause the car not to run.
