Most alternators domestic and foreign tend to run about 14.0V to 14.5V. Anything over that boils the battery and anything under that will undercharge the battery.
To limit the rate at which the charge is put into the battery in order to prevent overheating, boil-out of the water in the acid electrolyte, and eventually ruining the battery.
Generator output is controlled by voltage feedback to the voltage regulator which senses voltage drop or rise and regulates the current being sent to the armature. This rise and fall of the armature current governs the generators output voltage.
You do not need to modify the alternator if it is working properly. The voltage regulator controls the output of the alternator and it does function at low RPMs, if all systems are working properly. So if it is not charging at low RPMs you have a problem. Most auto parts stores will check your charging system free of charge.You do not need to modify the alternator if it is working properly.

Voltage stabilizer is use to regulate the voltage the output of any device
Output power can never be more than input power. With a transformer, it is possible to increase the output current (while decreasing the output voltage), or to decrease the output current (while increasing the output voltage).
Output of the alternator is controlled by the voltage regulator.
It controlls the output voltage of the alternator.
It controls the output voltage.
The AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) control the DC field voltage to the rotor of the alternator, as soon as higher load is demanded from the alternator, the AVR output voltage go higher, hence, a higher AC voltage on the output of the alternator. If the voltage go to high then the AVR is faulty.
The alternator is not adjustable. The computer controls the voltage output.
Alternator Output Voltage RangeGenerally, alternator output voltage is consider OK if it is in the range between 12 1/2 volts to a maximum of 16 volts.Therefore, although the output is at the maximum, you do not seem to have a problem.Usually, if the battery has had a lot of drain, then the alternator output will run at the maximum until the battery is fully charged.
Automotive Alternator Output VoltagesWith a properly operating alternator, AND electrical system, a voltage output range of 13.5 Volts to 16 Volts is considered acceptable.Just the alternator puts out around 120 vac, but most newer alternators include a built in rectifier that limits voltage output to between 13.5 and 15.5 volts DC depending on speed.
No. It controls the output of the alternator.
Regulation of an alternator is varying or adjusting the d.c. current flow (excitation current) in the revolving field coil to control the output voltage. When an alternator is subject to varying load conditions, and therefore changing load resistance at the output, the output voltage will vary in response. When output voltage is reduced in response to increased load (reduced output resistance), the "voltage regulator" will respond by increasing the excitation current to increase the voltage output. If load is reduced, the generator will momentarily become over-excited and the ouput voltage will increase. The voltage regulator responds by decreasing excitation current, returning the generator output voltage to its nominal level.
To control the alternator's output voltage under varying loads.In simple terms it regulates the voltage being sent to the battery.
Inside the alternator. It's part of the alternator. If you are having problems with low or high voltage output, I'd recommend replacing the alternator as a unit.
The alternator output voltage in most modern 12 volt automotive systems ranges from 13.5V to 14.5V, with the nominally accepted value being 13.8V. The actual voltage depends on battery charge state and temperature.
