The pulley turns a rotor shaft inside the alternator that spins magnets. This create an alternating current, which is then ...

I cracked open a junkyard alternator and recorded the wonders that ... then goes through a rectifier, which contains diodes. These diodes act as a sort of "one-way valve," changing the alternating ...

Depending on the alternator’s design, namely the type of voltage regulator ... For example, a short circuit in the stator winding, diode bridge breakage, and short circuit in battery banks can easily ...

Since an automobile uses direct current (DC), alternators are equipped with diodes, or one-way electrical valves, that convert AC to DC. If one or more diodes fail, output is reduced and that was ...

See All 9 Photos Convert the DN alternator's two-wire connector to the new SI-type connector (supplied ... unit), you'll need to wire a special diode (included with the MAD kit) somewhere ...

But the other common problem is that the diode bridge burns up. The alternator has to have a way to convert alternating current into direct current. And it does that by running the alternating ...

Denso has announced that it has developed a high-efficiency diode for alternators for gasoline and diesel engine vehicles with the semiconductor supplier, Hitachi Power Semiconductor Device.
