TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE:
THE ALTERRNATOR
The alternator is an electric current generator that transforms the mechanical
energy it receives on its shaft into electrical energy that, in addition to charging the
battery, serves to provide electric current to the different consumers of the
vehicle, such as: the fuel supply system. , the ignition system, lights, windshield
wipers, etc.
The alternator and its parts:
THE ROTOR:
It is responsible for creating the inductive magnetic field which causes the induced winding to
electrical current that is then supplied by the alternator. The rotor is in turn formed by an axis
or tree on which the magnetic core formed by two pieces of forged steel is mounted
that have projections or fingers intertwined without touching each other, which constitute the poles of
the
inducing magnetic field. Each of the two halves of the core fills 6 or 8 projections. With what
which results in an inductor field of 12 or 16 poles.

through the rings, and by means of copper slip rings and two graphitized
carbon brushes, the coil receives the excitation current generated by the alternator itself
through the rectifier equipment (self-excitation).

WORK DONE IN THE WORKSHOP
The fans:
Alternators that have a fan on the drive housing side are cooled by internal
ventilation. The air enters through the slip ring housing side, cooling the diode
bridge, the rotor, the stator, and then exits through the drive side housing.
Therefore the cooling air is sucked in by the fan through the alternator.
