Week 4: 4/24/15 Test of the Alternator by Alexander

Week 4
4/24/15

All electrical components were gathered.

The output of alternator was tested by using a dual-trace oscilloscope. The alternator had two outputs which were 90 degrees out of phase. Therefore, it needed adaption to avoid phase conflicts, but it could produce adequate voltage that agrees with the provided specifications. The idea of adaption was rectify each output separately, then combine them once the power is DC.
