5. Prinsip Operasi

The alternator is a key component of your vehicle's charging system. Its primary function is to convert mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy to power the vehicle's electrical components and recharge the battery.

• When the engine is running, the serpentine belt drives the alternator pulley, spinning the rotor inside the alternator.
• This rotation generates an alternating current (AC) through electromagnetic induction.
• The internal rectifier converts this AC into direct current (DC), which is what the vehicle's electrical system and battery require.
