Cara Kerja Alternator

Prinsip dasar Alternator pada kendaraan

perhatikan gambar di bawah ini :

penjelasan :

Kunci kontak dialiri arus listrik (+) pada saat posisi ON 

Lampu indikator menyala menandakan adanya arus dari battery (aki) ke alternator (saat ini alternator bersifat sebagai groound karena belum bekerja mensuply arus listrik ke accu)

Pada saat mesin dihidupkan, maka alternator akan berkerja untuk menggantikan fungsi aki – lampu indikator mati karena sekarang alternator bekerja dan menghasilkan arus listrik.

Perhatikan lampu CHG untuk mengetahui apakah alternator bekerja atau tidak. Bila lampu CHG menyala 

pada saat mesin hidup berarti alternator tidak bekerja.. segera periksa kerusakan ini, karena bila tidak mobil dapat mogok dijalan karena kehabisan setrum.
