The generator has to be synchronized to the power line before it can be connected. If connected out of phase there is a chance that the generator will motorize and this could break the crankshaft of the prime mover.
The phase sequence must be the same
The phase sequence must be the same "ElectEng 309 ;-)"
You put a "load"on the engine; the alternator is energized, getting power from the engine in order to produce electricity.
No, an alternator is not part of the power train. It is an auxiliary to provide electricity.
the alternator supplies power to the distributer, the battery gives power the the alternator
The only power sent TO the alternator is rotational motion, usually from the fan belt.
Not enough power to starter, jump it and then ensure alternator is good. Also check battery condition.
It can happen. The bearings on the alternator of my Silverado did that once, and it ended up causing the vehicle to shut down. the alternator on your car charges the battery which in turn runs the electrical supply to the car. if your alternator is damaged the battery will deliver power to the eletrical system until it no longer can and the car will stop running.if i were you i would replace the alternator,recharge the battery if it is still good and then happy motoring.
The ajustment bolt for the belt is under the power steering pump.
The alternator generates power to run the car and charge the battery. An alternator in a vehicle generates Alternate Current (AC) instead of Direct Current (DC) electricity to power the vehicle.
no the alternator gives off power it donst matter what takes up the power
There isn't an alternator fuse. The alternator is the power source - it's not fed from another power source. That wire which goes to the positive terminal of the battery is there to transfer electrical power to the battery, not from it.
