 INTRODUCTION
 An Electrical energy requires to fulfill the
requirements of the circuits of a vehicle and to
keep the battery fully charged.

 Generator/ alternator is a device which

converts mechanical energy from the
automobile engine into electrical energy.
 AIM
To inculcate the knowledge of the
functioning of Alternator.
 REQUIREMENT

To supply the current for operation of

electrical devices.
To keep the battery fully charged.

ESTABLISHMENT

Alternator is usually mounted on the side of

the engine block.
 ALTERNATOR PRINCIPLE
 ALTERNATOR IS DEVICE WHICH
CONVERTS MECHANICAL ENERGY OF
ENGINE INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY.

 IT WORKS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF

FARADAY’S LAW OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ALTERNATOR AND DYNAMO
In DC generator, the conductor rotates in a
stationary magnetic field & current flow in the
same direction.
In A.C. generator or alternator, the magnetic
field rotates & the conductor remain
stationary.
Current flow first on one direction & then in
other alternately.
 DYNAMO
It consists of pole pieces in a frame armature,
commutator and field winding.

Poles pieces or shoes laminated iron cores for

the field winding to furnish the magnetic field
for the generator.

WORKING PARTS
 ROTOR
 Rotor is mounted on shaft & supported by the
ball bearing.
Consist of a circular field coil encased by two
end pole pieces.
Each pole piece have six protruding fingers
spaced 60 degree angle.
The fingers are alternately spread to provide
12 poles i.e. six north & six south poles.
ROTOR
 SLIP RINGS & CARBON BRUSHES

End of the field coils are connected to the slip

rings.
Each slip ring connect to one end of winding.
The carbon brushes makes sliding contact with
the slip rings.
The current is taken out to external circuit
through brushes.
 STATOR
 Consist of an internally slotted & laminated
iron core around which three phases of
winding.

 One each is connected to a common y-

junction.

 Other end is connected to rectifier plate/ heat

sink plate.
STATOR
 RECTIFIER
To change the alternating current into direct
current, there are six silicon diode rectifier
used.
Diode is an electric device that permit current
to flow in the one direction.
There are two types of rectifiers i.e. positive
rectifier negative rectifiers & auxiliary
rectifier.
 RECTIFIER
• DC current is flow through positive diode to battery
terminal whereas negative are grounded.
 ELECTRONIC VOLTEGE REGULATOR
• Prevents the alternator from producing
excessive voltage.
• The regulator limits the current flow through
the field winding on the rotor.
• This controls the strength of rotating magnetic
field.
The strength of current depends upon the
following factors

– STRENGTH OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD

– SPEED AT WHICH MAGNETIC FIELD

ROTATES
– NUMBER OF LOOPS

 CONCLUSION

In these times of evolving technologies, we must

always be ready to accept unimaginable
experiences that may develop any time………
KEEP PACE WITH THE
EVOLUTION
