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.
Yes an alternator from a car produces electricity when spun. At the right RPS it will generate 12VDC to no more that about 15VDC. No it will never be able to generate 230VAC.e-design 2 years agoReply. An alternator does generate electricity but requires a little bit of battery power to do so. The size to generate 230 volts would be an alternator designed to generate 230 volts.
