ALTERNATOR COMPONENTS
AND FUNCTIONS (12V / 80A)
The alternator (Figure 11-1, (1)) creates electrical
energy and charges the battery(ies). It is installed
on the engine drive shaft housing and is operated
with twin V-belts that are driven by the engine
crankshaft. The alternator is equipped with an IC
regulator that is designed to deliver a constant
voltage throughout a wide range of engine speeds
and uses diodes to convert AC to DC.
