Function and Features
Inside most novel alternator, the amplitude of load dump is decreased by
increasing the limiter diode (clamping diode). The load dump may be caused by
cable corrosion, poor cable contact or disconnecting the battery intentionly
when the engine is running.
The pulse shape and parameters for an alternator without centralized load
dump suppression are given in follow.
