then you need a little more rpm to get the alternator to charge above the battery voltage. About 13.5 volts. The average alternator is now between 1,300 to 2,100 rpm. I set up an old 35 amp alternator to run off a 1/3 hp 1,750 rpm washing machine motor at a 1:1 belt ratio. Using the stock regulator would stall the 1/3hp motor. I put a large adjustable resister on the field connection of the alternator.
Inside this small device is a rotor that spins at a high rate of speed thanks to a belt thatâs connected to the carâs crankshaft. The rotor spins past stator windings inside the alternator to create an electromagnetic field, which is converted by a set of diodes into direct electrical current. Alternators make use of vented aluminum housings that help to dissipate the heat generated by its operation. The 12-volt electric current produced by the alternator is used to keep the battery charged and to power all of a vehicleâs electric systems. This includes climate control, the radio, lights and the computerized brain that manages your engine.
