alternator sense line
LMFAO
what a moron
its called regulated voltage ya FOCTARD
measure voltage at battery
if its 14.5 or more the regualtor is focked
ford does not have an alternator
the shop manual call s the generators
Actually you got your head up your ass, alternators are not as primitive as
their generator style counterparts. Of the three wires that come from unit
the heavy wire goes back to the battery and supplies the charging current,
of the two smaller wires one goes to a resistor bridge which is used to hold
the warning light circuit cut off, voltage feedback through this wire is
also used to energize the field coils so as to allow the alternator to start
charging at lower RPM's. The third wire is a sense line, whose purpose is
to measure the voltage drop between the source and load. It is the voltage
feeding back through this line that tells the regulator what the output
should be, it works as kind of a gate keeper, the higher the voltage along
the sense line, the lower the output to the battery. Therefore, if the
sense line is not connected the regulator has no reference and defaults to
maximum output.
You're right by the way, I DON'T have any certification. I learned all this
just for the hell of it. If you paid good money to go to a technical school
and still came out this stupid you might want to ask for a refund!

what's there to turn up? everything there makes sense.. i think. battery
provides power to the car, alternator keeps batter charged, voltage
regualtor keeps the power output in check, and there will be a sensor there
somewhere to signal the guage on the dash what to display. the only thing
that doesn't make sense is the term 'generator'.. i'm not sure why a shop
manual would call it that, that's not what an alternator does. an generator
is a simple device, really.. and incredibly inneficient and weak. i don't
think they have used generators in cars in more than 25 years.
an alternator, on the other hand, is immeasurably more efficient when
compared to a generator, has slip rings instead of commutators, and produces
up to 120 volts DC via a voltage regulator and state regualtor.
">>measure voltage at battery >>if its 14.5 or more the regualtor is
ocked" --true.. but the regualtor is part of the alternator. thusly, the
alternator is "focked"

Actually the alternator can produce much more than 120 volts AC. DC is
what you get after that AC is run through the rectifier diodes inside
the alternator. The regulator uses a remote sensing wire to keep the
voltage in the vehicle at 13.8-14 volts. That remote wire is used to
counteract the voltage drop that occurs through the long wire runs and
multiple connections in the wiring harness. That is why you will usually
find low voltage in vehicles that use a one wire alternator instead of a
conventional 3 wire. The voltage lost in the wiring can be 1-1.5 volts
depending on length of the run.

i meant AC, hehe sorry ;) but i didn't know that it could be more.
so far we seem to be in agreement on the usage of an alternator... it's been
an informative post for all, i hope =)

Mustang used the generator in 1964.5 models and made the switch to the
alternator around 1965.
