The Engineers Crib

Fortunately,an engine can run without the battery,i.e after starting the engine the battery can be unplugged and if the alternating system is sound,it will continue running. Unfortunately,it might cause some defects to the electrical system when run for an extended period. Likewise the engine can run without an alternator for a short period of time because of loss of power in the cells. Oftentimes the alternator goes bad and the operator fails to identify it until it gradually leads to total breakdown. The alternator is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. In automobile the alternator is used to charge the battery and to power all electrical systems when the engine is running. It changes the spinning motion of the fan belt into electrical energy. The alternator carryout several function to enhance the efficiency of the automobile and comfort of the operator. Modern alternators are constructed with built in regulator circuit that  switch on and
