ALTERNATOR PRODUCING AC VOLTAGE
Problem - I had my alternator fixed and the mechanic said the alternator is producing AC voltage.
Possibility 1 - The alternator makes AC current that is turned to DC current by passing through diodes. I have heard of this problem before and the diodes need to be replaced.
Possibility 2 - This is how it works. An alternator works together with the battery to supply power for the electrical components of the vehicle. The output of an alternator is direct current (DC). When the alternator pulley is rotated, alternating current (AC) passes through a magnetic field and an electrical current is generated.
