32 Chapter Charging System Technology

Objectives After studying this chapter, you will be able to: Describe the construction of major 12-volt charging system components. Explain charging system indicators and instrumentation. Explain the construction and operation of hybrid charging systems.

Objectives Compare the operation of a 12-volt charging system to that of a hybrid charging system. Correctly answer ASE certification test questions that require a knowledge of charging system fundamentals.

12-Volt Charging System Functions Recharges battery after engine cranking or after electrical accessory use with engine shut off Supplies all12-volt electricity when engine is running Provides 13-15 volt output, slightly higher than fully-charged battery at 12.6 volts

12-Volt Charging System Functions (Cont.) Changes current and voltage output to meet different electrical loads Provides smooth dc for proper function of all vehicle’s electronic circuits

Basic Charging Circuit

12-Volt Charging System Parts Alternator (ac generator) Voltage regulator Drive belt Charge indicator Charging system harness Battery ECM

12-Volt Charging System During engine cranking, battery supplies all electricity for use When engine starts running, charging system takes over Voltage regulator keeps alternator output at preset charging voltage (13–15 volts) Since this is higher than battery voltage (12.6 volts), current flows back into battery

Alternator Simplified alternator has two main parts Rotor Stator Located in alternator housing center Creates rotating magnetic field Stator Stationary set of windings surrounds rotor Output winding in alternator

Alternator (Cont.) Produces alternating current (ac) output Automobile electrical systems designed to use direct current (dc) Cannot use ac as it comes out of alternator’s stator Alternator current must be rectified before entering electrical system Changed into direct current

Alternator Components Rotor Brush assembly Rectifier Stator Alternator housing Fan and pulley Voltage regulator

Alternator Components (Cont.) (Ford)

Alternator Components (Cont.) Alternator rotor assembly Consists of field windings mounted on shaft Alternator bearings Used to produce low-friction surface for rotor shaft Needle or ball types

Alternator Components (Cont.) Alternator slip rings Mounted on rotor shaft to provide dc current to field windings Each end of field windings connects to a slip ring Alternator brushes Ride on slip rings to make sliding electrical connection Brush springs Hold brushes in contact with slip rings

Alternator Rectifier Alternator rectifier Full-wave rectification Or diode assembly Uses six diodes to convert stator current (ac) to direct current (dc) Full-wave rectification Changes both positive and negative polarities into direct current

Alternator Rectifier (Cont.) Diode trio Supply current to rotor field windings Rectifier diodes mounted in diode frame or heat sink Three positive diodes press-fit in insulated frame Three negative diodes mounted in uninsulated or grounded frame

Rectifier Assembly (Ford)

Alternator Stator Alternator stator Y-type stator Delta-type stator Three sets of windings, each wrapped around laminated iron core Y-type stator Wire ends from stator windings connected to neutral junction Delta-type stator Stator wires connected end to end

Alternator Components (Cont.) Alternator fan Mounted on front of rotor shaft Alternator pulley Uses a belt to spin rotor

Voltage Regulator Voltage regulator Integral voltage regulator Control alternator output by changing current flowing through rotor’s field windings Integral voltage regulator Mounted inside or on alternator rear Most common type used on today’s vehicles

Voltage Regulator Operation To increase alternator output Allows more current into rotor’s field windings To reduce alternator output Places more resistance between battery and field windings Alternator speed and electrical load determine whether regulator increases or decreases charging output

ECM Charging System Monitoring and Control Control module can monitor charging system output and react to changing operating conditions Computer controls duty cycle of alternator’s field Duty cycle is percentage of time current feeds to alternator’s field windings 50% duty cycle is normal

Voltage Regulator Operation (Cont.) Battery thermistor Measures battery temperature so charging system can alter charging output as needed Fail-safe circuits Disconnect alternator output if voltage levels become too high

Alternator Drive Belts Powered by crankshaft pulley Turns alternator pulley and rotor Three belt types V-belt Cogged V-belt Ribbed belt (Gates)

Charge Indicators Charge indicator Three basic types Informs driver of operating condition or output of charging system Three basic types Warning light Voltmeter indicator Ammeter indicator

Alternator Warning Light Wired into charging system Will glow when alternator output drops to specified level In good charging systems, current flow through field will be too low to light bulb

Voltmeter Indicator Voltmeter indicator Warns driver of charging system problems Simply shows voltage Indicator of current output and charging system condition If reading is too high, overcharging can occur When excess current is forced through battery

The Charging Circuit

Hybrid Charging Systems Many hybrid vehicles do not have conventional alternators Motor-generator recharges high-voltage battery or conventional 12-volt battery

Hybrid Charging System Parts Major parts of hybrid charging system Motor-generator Hybrid instrumentation HV power control module HV battery Hybrid control module
