Kia Sportage: Charging System / Alternator Description and operation
The Alternator has eight built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC current appears at alternator "B" terminal.
In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery
voltage detection system.
The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.
The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor
brushes, bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley.
The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
