This online course will help you learn how to work with an alternator, an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Alternators are lighter and more economical when we compare them to DC generators. You will learn in detail about the operation and construction of alternators. We will also explore the characteristics and synchronisation of alternators and output waveforms.
