An alternator is a type of electrical generator that converts mechanical energy into Alternating Current (AC) electrical energy. It is typically used in automobiles, trucks and buses as well as in boats and other vehicles.
An alternator is driven by a belt connected to the engine's crankshaft, which turns a rotor inside a stator to generate AC power.
The alternator is designed to provide power to the vehicle's electrical system and charge the Battery - 20230129064209 while the Engine is running. It typically includes a set of diodes that convert the AC power to direct current (DC) power for use by the vehicle's electrical system, and a voltage regulator that maintains a consistent voltage output.
