Jun 25, 2011 at 20:54 comment added JustJeff do they really put the windings on the rotor?
Jun 25, 2011 at 19:48 comment added brainwash Yes, they do that exactly, it's USUALLY not a wound stator/ wound rotor like in cars but a permanent magnet stator and wound tri-phase rotor with P-P voltages of 80-200V. To bring the voltage down they shunt(?) the phases to common ground. Still looking for an answer to this one.
Jun 21, 2011 at 0:58 comment added JustJeff so they regulate to 14.4 by just throwing extra load on the alternator, essentially just electrically bogging it down to get 14.4V? that does seem rather wasteful.
