Is It Normal for a Car Not to Generate Electricity at Idle but to Generate When Accelerating?
1 Answers
It is normal for a car not to generate electricity at idle but to generate when accelerating. Below are the specific details about the car alternator: Working Principle: When the external circuit supplies current to the excitation winding through the brushes, a magnetic field is generated, magnetizing the armature into N and S poles. Maintenance: Regularly clean the accumulated dirt and dust on the alternator's surface to maintain cleanliness and ensure good ventilation. Periodically check the tightness of all fasteners related to the alternator and promptly tighten any loose screws. Function: The car alternator is the primary power source of the vehicle. Its role is to supply power to all electrical devices (except the starter) when the engine is running normally and to recharge the battery.
