Understanding
the Alternator The
regulator will attempt to maintain a
pre-determined charging system voltage
level. When
charging system voltage falls below this
point, the regulator will increase the
field current, thus strengthening the
magnetic field, which results in an
increase of alternator output. When
charging system voltage raises above this
point, the regulator will decrease field
current , thus weakening the magnetic
field, and results in a decrease of
alternator output. |
