Unit 4. GENERATOR
Text A
FUNCTIONS OF GENERATOR
(Part 1)
If the battery is the heart of your car’s electrical system, the generator is second in importance. Actually, both interact so closely that it’s almost impossible to separate their functions entirely. This section explains how the generator provides current for the car's electrical system and how it acts to recharge the battery.
As mentioned in the text about a battery, all electrical needs are usually supplied by the generator while the engine is running. An exception would be when the current demand of the car’s electrical system exceeds generator output. When this happens, the battery supplements generator output. Also, the battery provides all current needed to start the car — that is, cranking the engine and supplying power to the ignition system.
To understand current generation, you need to know about an electrical phenomenon —magnetism.
A magnet has a north and a south pole. These create an invisible magnetic field around the magnet. If you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another, the magnetic field extends from one magnet to the other through the intervening space, or air gap.
(Part 2)
If you hold a piece of wire between the two poles at a right angle to the magnetic field, and move the wire up and down, voltage will be inducted into the wire. This phenomenon is called magnetic induction. The direction the current flows depends on the direction of the magnetic field and the direction the wire is moving. Current flows one way when you move the wire up and the other way when you move it down. Incidentally, you could hold the wire still and move the magnets instead — the result will be the same.
To make a useful generator, this induced voltage must be harnessed. That is, mechanical energy moving the wire must he converted into to electrical energy — the induced voltage.
In the moving-wire example, repeatedly moving a wire up and down in a magnetic field causes current to flow one way, then the other. Because the directions alternate, this is known as alternating current (AC). In a car, the current always flows in one direction; from the battery to the load. This is known as direct current (DC). But, depending on the year of manufacture, a car will have either a DC generator or AC generator (alternator).
