    Is the motorcycle charging system storing excess power in the stator?

    Let me correct some bad phrasing: I understand that the R/R fully loads the alternator 100% of the time, which if true would cause the induction of the full current the alternator can produce. My theory is all of this current is not allowed to flow, but some remains stored (as emf) in the stator.

    What are the benefits of joining a scientific community like Physics Forums?

    Hello everyone. I have a degree in EE but got into both laboratory testing and then computers because of the number of opportunities, and also because I enjoyed the jobs far more. From skipping around I have also been exposed to many different areas, which aligns perfectly with my personality. I...

    Is the motorcycle charging system storing excess power in the stator?

    Hello, I am please to meet your acquaintances! I registered for the following problem: The system at hand is a motorcycle charging system with a permanent magnet alternator and a shunt rectifier. The common belief is that the regulator/rectifier (R/R) dissipates all surplus power. I think that...
