In addition to unveiling the new motor design, Raser will exhibit other new implementations of its Symetron[TM] family of technologies, including its new high output, high efficiency brushless
alternator technology, designed to improve performance and fuel economy in conventional vehicles and its award winning P-50 integrated starter
alternator.
PowerEdge is a top-performing
alternator that provides higher amps at idle and cruise speeds, faster charging and rapid battery recovery.
Engine downsizing has led manufacturers to develop starter motor and
alternator that comply with the incoming trend.
Option 3: Remove the
alternator, rebuild it, test it and reinstall it (or have a third party do so).
The
alternator is fine for replenishing the battery after you start the car and for keeping it topped up.
The "new-style" 70-amp
alternator, NSN 6115-01-440-7397, is the replacement used on many H100Cs the last few years.
That's much better than the I know most
alternators (56% efficient on average) can produce at idle, and is enough to let some of the more powerful by-wire systems migrate to 12 volt vehicles.
The plant is the main
alternator assembly facility for Bosch in Western Europe.
It is powered by a 3-phase
alternator fitted to the main engine, mounted within the main engine compartment and belt-driven from the crankshaft.
No need to have it screaming--the
alternator will charge at slow speed as well as fast.
This could eventually result in an electrical short in the diode which could cause a fire in the
alternator that could spread to the engine compartment.
As designed, with an
alternator that generates power to recharge the battery, a car cannot produce enough current at low engine speeds to serve such a function.
