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 you hit the gas is when the alternator is trying to put out a full 100 amps.) Remember it resists being turned in proportion to how much electricity itâs trying to produce. As soon as the battery is recharged the squeal goes away because the electrical demand is less.
