What is the normal power generation output of a car alternator?
1 Answers
The normal power generation output of a car alternator is 13.5V-14.5V. Here is some relevant information about alternators: 1. Classification of alternators: Automotive alternators can be divided into DC generators and AC alternators. Since AC alternators outperform DC generators in many aspects, DC generators have been phased out. 2. Symptoms of alternator failure: Dimming of headlights or dashboard lights; Damage to the battery or accumulator. If the battery is undercharged or dead, the vehicle will continue to run, but after a short time, the lights will dim again, indicating an issue with the charging system; The car alternator belt, if it does not rotate freely, excessive friction will cause the belt to heat up, producing a burning rubber smell. If you detect a smell similar to an electrical fire, this may indicate that the alternator pulley is slipping on the belt, resulting in poor alternator output.
