Is the fan belt attached to the alternator? When an alternator is actively charging the battery, it is actually spinning inside the vehicle. There is something called an alternator belt (also called a serpentine belt) which wraps around a pulley or multiple pullies that is connected to the alternator. Is a fan belt the same as a Cambelt? The fan belt is used to transfer rotational power from one place to another in the engine.
