Forklift Alternators

Forklift Alternators - An alternator is actually a machine which transforms mechanical energy into electric energy. This is done in the form of an electrical current. In principal, an AC electrical generator can be labeled an alternator. The word usually refers to a small, rotating device driven by automotive and various internal combustion engines. Alternators that are placed in power stations and are driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators. Most of these devices make use of a rotating magnetic field but every now and then linear alternators are likewise utilized.

When the magnetic field all-around a conductor changes, a current is produced inside the conductor and this is actually how alternators produce their electrical energy. Normally the rotor, which is actually a rotating magnet, revolves within a stationary set of conductors wound in coils located on an iron core which is called the stator. When the field cuts across the conductors, an induced electromagnetic field otherwise called EMF is generated as the mechanical input makes the rotor to revolve. This rotating magnetic field generates an AC voltage in the stator windings. Typically, there are 3 sets of stator windings. These physically offset so that the rotating magnetic field produces 3 phase currents, displaced by one-third of a period with respect to each other.

"Brushless" alternators - these utilize brushes and slip rings along with a rotor winding or a permanent magnet in order to induce a magnetic field of current. Brushlees AC generators are normally located in larger machines such as industrial sized lifting equipment. A rotor magnetic field may be generated by a stationary field winding with moving poles in the rotor. Automotive alternators normally use a rotor winding that allows control of the voltage generated by the alternator. This is done by varying the current in the rotor field winding. Permanent magnet devices avoid the loss because of the magnetizing current inside the rotor. These machines are limited in size due to the price of the magnet material. As the permanent magnet field is constant, the terminal voltage varies directly with the generator speed.
