Product Description
Alternator Single Flow Cooling Cutaway Educational Trainer
Specialized training tool designed to showcase the internal components and functionality of a modern automotive alternator. Featuring exposed key parts such as the stator armature winding, rotor inductor, rectifier diodes, and voltage regulator, this model demonstrates the conversion of mechanical energy into alternating current for charging vehicle batteries and powering electrical systems. The trainer also highlights the use of slip rings and brushes to supply field current, and a small pulley system to simulate real-world engine conditions, offering a comprehensive learning experience in alternator operation.
Features
- Cutaway alternator model with all key internal components visible, including the stator armature winding, rotor, rectifier diodes, and voltage regulator.
- Demonstrates the field current modulation process via slip rings and brushes, offering insight into power regulation in automotive systems.
- Real alternator structure based on OEM modern vehicle systems, including detailed components such as the grease seal felts for bearings, brush holder, and positive and negative collector rings.
- Small pulley system included to simulate real alternator function under idle and higher engine speeds.
- Designed for safe and interactive educational use, with visible connections and simplified access to key parts for measurement and study.
Value For Students
- Learn the transformation of mechanical energy into alternating current (AC) electrical energy, essential for automotive electrical systems.
- Understand the working principle of alternators, including the role of the stator armature winding, rotor inductor segment pack, and rectifier diodes in power generation and regulation.
- Learn the function of the voltage regulator and how it modulates field current to ensure consistent voltage output during varying engine conditions.
- Study the role of slip rings and brushes in delivering field current to the rotor winding, and how the absence of a commutator improves alternator durability and efficiency.
- Analyze alternator operation under real-world conditions, such as how it charges the battery and powers a vehicle’s electrical systems when the engine is running.
- Explore the relationship between engine speed and alternator output, focusing on the use of a small pulley to double alternator speed for optimal charging during idling.
Value For instructors
- Provides a clear, cutaway model for the practical demonstration of alternator construction, components, and working principles in automotive electrical systems.
- Offers a hands-on learning platform where students can engage with OEM key electrical components such as the stator, rotor, rectifier diodes, and voltage regulator.
