The stator is the fixed winding attached to the alternator case. Most alternators have a rotating field which uses a small current relative to the output. With a fixed field the brushes would have to carry the relatively large output of the armature. I'm not a big fan of 1-wire alternators. I prefer an alternator with two wires so that the regulator senses the voltage on a wire separate from the alternator's output wire. This allows the voltage regulator to raise the alternator output to compensate for voltage drop between the alternator's output and the load. |
