Charging System
General Description
The alternator is an electrical and mechanical
components driven by a belt from engine rotation. It
is used to charge the storage battery during the
engine operation. The alternator is cooled by an
external fan mounted behind the pulley. The fan
pulls air through the holes in the back of the
alternator. The air exits the front of the alternator,
cooling it in the process. The valeo alternator also
has an internal fan. This fan is mounted on the rotor.
This fan pulls air through the holes in the back of the
alternator to cool the rectifier bridge and regulator.
The air exits the front of the alternator.
The alternator converts mechanical and magnetic
energy to alternating current (AC) and voltage. This
process is done by rotating a direct current (DC)
electromagnetic field (rotor) inside a three phase
stator. The alternating current and voltage
(generated by the stator) are changed to direct
current by a three phase, full wave rectifier system
using six silicone rectifier diodes. Some alternators
have three exciter diodes or a diode trio. They rectify
the current needed to start the charging process.
Direct current flows to the alternator output terminal.
A solid state regulator is installed in or on the back
of the alternator. Two brushes conduct current,
through two slip rings, to the rotor field. Some
alternators have a capacitor mounted on them. The
capacitor protects the rectifier from high voltages. It
also suppresses electrical noise through a radio, if
equipped.
The alternator is connected to the battery through
the ignition switch for alternator turn on. Therefore,
alternator excitation occurs when the switch is
turned on.
Alternators
The alternators used on these engines have three
phase, full-wave, rectified output. They are the brush
type. Refer to the Alternator Coverage chart for
detailed systems operation information
