CHARGING SYSTEMS • Induced Voltage • AC Charging Systems • Preliminary Checks • AC Generator Service • Converts Mechanical Energy into • Electrical Energy
INDUCED VOLTAGE • 3 Stationary Windings (stator) • Rotating Claw Shoes (rotor) • 12 Volts – 300 Volts Out • normal output 13-15 volts
AUTOMOTIVE CHARGING SYSTEM • Purpose: • (1) Provide electrical power to the vehicle while the engine is running • (2) Charge the battery • Components: Alternator, Voltage Regulator, Wiring, Indicator, Drive Belt
ALTERNATOR COMPONETS • Terminals • Slip Rings • Cooling Fan • Belts • Rotor • Stator • Housings/ Frame • Shaft & Bearings • Drive Pulley & Fan • Diodes • Regulator
STATOR Stator is stationary Does not move Electricity is induced in the stator
ROTOR Rotor Rotates-spins Magnetic field is made in ROTOR 2 pole shoes N and S Windings Slip rings
SLIP RING END FRAME BAT terminal hot at all times
ALTERNATOR OPERATION • Three items necessary to produce current flow • 1- Conductors (stator) • 2- Magnetic Field (rotor) • 3-Motion (belt drive from crankshaft)
Alternator Operation • DC Rectification • Half Wave • Full Wave • Voltage Regulation • Sensing Voltage • Field Circuits
CONVERTING AC to DC • Alternator produces AC due to north and south magnet • Diode blocks current flow in one direction converting AC to DC • Current flow is DC at battery terminal
VOLTAGE REGULATION • Integral Regulator • Uses Transistors and a Zener Diode • Controls current to the Field Winding in the Rotor • Low Voltage On • High Voltage Off
Electronic Regulators • Integrated Circuit Voltage Regulators • Fail-Safe Circuits • Computer Regulation
Indicators • Indicator Lights • Voltmeter • Ammeter
Basic Checks • Safety Precautions • Inspection • General Tests
General Tests • Voltage Output Test • Current Output Test • Regulator Bypass Test • Oscilloscope Checks • Circuit & Ground test
ALTERNATOR LAB • Disassemble alternator • Learn all parts • Pass instructor’s quiz • Learn operation • Pass instructor’s quiz • Reassemble alternator
