Have you ever wondered how your electrical components get all the energy that they need in order to function properly? Actually, they are powered by your car’s electrical and charging system. At the heart of these systems is a vehicle component known as the alternator. This car component is called as such because it produces an alternating current. It works in direct contact with the car battery to provide power whenever your vehicle is in motion. Although your alternator produces an AC voltage, it is converted into a DC voltage as is moves its way into the battery and the electrical loads.

The alternator works by converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. To be able to do this task, a series of wound wires and wound irons are driven into a permanent magnetic field through an engine driven belt. A typical alternator is made up of a moving coil called the rotor, a non moving induction winding called the stator, a diode assembly called the rectifier bridge, a power device called the voltage regulator, and two internal fans that promote air circulation.

You can tell that your factory installed alternator has been worn out if you have got some intermittent headlights or if you are hearing some harsh noise under your hood. Replace it immediately with a new one if you do not want to get stuck in an unknown location.
