alternator

[sparx14]

n00b question lang po, ano ba nagagawa ng alternator aside from charging the battery, will the engine works without it? kumukuha ba ng current ung engine sa alternator or just to power the other system... sori sa katangahan ko....

[jim]

yup kumukuha rin ang engine ng power sa alternator. ang battery primarily is pang jump start lang ng engine then pag nag-start na the alternator will supply the needed current t o the electrical components and to the engine compensating the battery which has limited electrical supply.

[sparx14]

edi affected din ung performance ng engine in terms of speed? kung may defect ung alternator? omg

[1997]

Basta lahat na with electrical affected pag sira alternator... Ako dati overheat kasi hindi na gumagana yung fan....

[mbt]

sus, hindi mo naman kailangan mag-apologize for being a "newbie" ha hehe lahat naman tayo newbie at one time

kung sira yung alternator, mago-on yung battery indicator sa instrument cluster. limited ang kuryente na available for lights, radio, horn, power locks, power seats, power mirrors, etc.

a broken alternator (if it breaks while you are driving, most often caused by a broken alternator belt) will not affect your speed or anything. yun nga lang, lahat ng electrical mo sa battery na kumukuha, and eventually, mauubos yung battery. at that point, your electricals will no longer work and your car will die (wala nang ignition, wala nang charge yung electronics).

[Ungas]

Oissst, mbt. Yung battery di nauubos (except for water); yung reserve power ng battery ang drained.

maraming salamat... now i know

ot:

sir

experience ko din ..ng masira ang voltage regulator ko ....

na drain lagi ang distilled water ng car battrery ......


is it the power generated by the alternator which is not regulated

kaya may abnormality sa battery ba ?

[Ungas]

Possible po yan pag sira ang voltage regulator, alternaotr overcharges your battery. Distilled water will boils when it is being charged. Your paint could also be damaged with boiling distilled water. As we all know, boiling water evaporates, thus drains the water out. That's why there are vents in each battery or else battery container could explode due to excesive pressure.

right sir ..

tama pala logic ko kaya may sumasabog na battery container ..

thanks again sir

can a broken bearing cause the alt to malfunction?

[mbt]

ungas,

lang hya ka hehehe... ano bang intindi mo sa "mauubos yung battery"??

[Ungas]

Yes ofcourse, alternator spins as the engine produces power. It is held by fan belts. A faulty bearing will render your alternator to spin slower which will not produce the current needed by your vehicle. This also creates screeching noise from the belt itself.

Natawa ako kanina, iniisip ko parang popsicle na natutunaw. :bwahaha:

kasi pag worn out na bearing ..mawawala ka sa alignment at sasayad ang

armature sa field yoke na pwede at magiging grounded na ..

kya possible mag function ang alternator...IMO..

paano po kung yung screeching sound e pag cold start lang? then after a minute or two e wala na screech??

bearing problem kaya yon?

[Ungas]

Screeching sound during cold engine start indicates that your fanbelt might be too tight for cold temp. Rubbers & metals do expand due to heat. So after the engine has warmed up, sound will disappear, but it doesn't necesarily mean that your bearing is worn out. A little adjustment to loosen about a mm or two should do the trick.

Common sign of worn out alternator bearing aside from BoEinG_747's post, alternator pulley spinning slowly sometimes with stops along. Screeching sound doesn't disappear even if the engine has reached its operating temp.

k thank you po

Hi Everyone,

Question lang regarding alternators. Assuming that there is an overcharging of an alternator due to, let's say an ic defect ....is there any fuse that would break to protect the electrical system of the car..Before kasi sumabog yung battery ko dahil sa overcharging. Parang walang fuse sa mga kia cars pero i was wondering sa mga honda's.

[theveed]

ungas: PILOSOPO!!! hehehehe...

[sparx14]

follow up question ko:

nagpalit na ako ng alternator, ok naman kaya niya na ung system kapag tinanggal ko ung batt while engine on

eto naman prob ko:

*kapag nag sounds ako kapag bayo ng bass parang affectado ung makina, ano kaya sanhi nito?

*drive ako sa gabi lights on, aircon on at sounds, bigla na lang namatayan (isang vez lang nangyari)

*aircon on engine on, isang rev ko tapos bitaw parang mamamatay ung engine...

*tapos kapag off ko ung engine, parang sisindi ulit siya bago mamatay

tune up na ba ito mga kapatid?
