How do you mount an alternator on a Batt terminal?
How do you mount an alternator on a Batt terminal?
Mount 12SI internally regulated alternator in place, install the large gauge battery to alternator cable, removed from the old alternator, onto the new alternator BATT terminal.
Is the isolation post on a 12V alternator?
Is not the isolation post on the alternator where you hook up your 12v to keep the 12v from dead shorting. Why the continuity from positive post terminal to ground areas of motor and body of alternator. There is a specific way the wiring must be done when you install a larger than 65 amp alternator and that wiring I am sure is right.
What causes an alternator to get really hot?
High voltage, bad diode, improper alt fan, bad bearing , defective heat sink ,high voltage drop accross alt power wire or ground wire . A few places to check alternator fan, now why didn’t I think of that?
What do you need to know about the alternator?
Understanding the Alternator • The regulator is the brain of the charging system. • It monitors both battery and stator voltages and depending on the measured voltages, the regulator will adjust the amount of rotor field current to control alternator output. • Regulators can be mounted both internal or external.

What causes an alternator to go over base voltage?
If you are getting more than 2 volts above base voltage, most likely your alternator is over-charging the battery or the battery is faulty. Other potential problems are a faulty voltage regulator or a problem in the charging system wiring.
