A fully charged battery has a supply of about 12.6 volts.<\/span> Any use of electricity will lower that voltage.<\/span> When the battery voltage drops to this level, the voltage regulator activates the alternator to charge the voltage.<\/span> Batterai requires an alternator output of about 14.2 volts to make batteries return to 12.6 volts.<\/span> Alternative voltage regulator cycle is ON and OFF 700 times per minute.<\/span> During high electric current requirements, the alternator remains on for a longer time.<\/span> During low current requirements, the alternator changes freely and no output is generated.<\/span><\/p>\n

AC generator, or alternator capable of meeting this need.<\/span> The comparison of an alternator and an AC generator is simply shown in Figure 1.9<\/span>

A comparison between generator and alternator can be known, in a rotating magnetic field alternator and its output derived from a conductor called a stator.<\/span>

When the magnetic flux is cut off by the electrical conductor, the electromotive force will occur inside the conductor, and a flow will flow if the conductor is part of a complete circuit.<\/span> As shown in Figure 1.10, the galvanometer needle (an ammeter activated by the smallest amount of current) will move because of the electromotive force created when rotating shafts rotate and the magnetic field between the north and south cuts the conductor.<\/span><\/p>\n

From this activity it will be seen that:<\/span><\/p>\n
