What is the detection method for a car generator not generating electricity?

Detection method for a car generator not generating electricity: Use the voltage range of a multimeter for testing. Rotate the multimeter knob to the DC voltage 30V range, connect the red probe to the generator's armature terminal, and the black probe to the casing. Run the engine at medium speed or higher. The standard voltage value for a 12V electrical system is around 14V, while for a 24V electrical system, it should be around 28V. If the measured voltage is equal to the battery voltage, it indicates that the generator is not generating electricity. A generator refers to a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. Generally, generators convert the energy stored in various primary energy sources into mechanical energy through a prime mover, and then the generator converts it into electrical energy, which is transmitted through power transmission and distribution networks to various power consumption locations.
