then you need a little more rpm to get the alternator to charge above the battery voltage. About 13.5 volts. The average alternator is now between 1,300 to 2,100 rpm. I set up an old 35 amp alternator to run off a 1/3 hp 1,750 rpm washing machine motor at a 1:1 belt ratio. Using the stock regulator would stall the 1/3hp motor. I put a large adjustable resister on the field connection of the alternator.
When the Maruti 800 starts, it initially idles at 700 rpm. The pulley ratio between the crankshaft and the alternator is 3:1. Thus, the alternator rotates at a minimum of 2100 rpm. The current in the field coil â 0.15 A â is enough to start the alternator at this particular rotational speed.
