Group 30: Electrical system Component description
13
Alternator
The alternator provides alternating current (14V/
115A).
The voltage regulator on the alternator is provided
with a sense system.
The sense system compares the charge voltage be-
tween the alternator terminals, B+ and B-, with the
voltage across the battery positive and negative ter-
minals. The voltage regulator then compensates for
any voltage drop in the cables between the alternator
and the batteries, by increasing the charge voltage
supplied by the alternator as necessary.
