The charging system
included a battery, an alternator with a built-in regulator, and the
charging indicator light and wire.
The Alternator has eight
built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC current
appears at alternator "B" terminal.
In addition, the
charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage
detection system.
The alternator is
regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of
the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes,
bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in
electronic voltage regulator.
Alternator management
system controls the charging voltage set point in order to improve fuel
economy, manage alternator load under various operating conditions, keep
the battery charged, and protect the battery from over-charging. ECM
controls generating voltage by duty cycle (charging control, discharging
control, normal control) based on the battery conditions and vehicle
operating conditions.
The system conducts
discharging control when accelerating a vehicle. Vehicle reduces an
alternator load and consumes an electric power form a
battery.
The system conducts
charging control when decelerating a vehicle. Vehicle increases an
alternator load and charges a
battery. |
