[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 8300527, member: 586635"] for an alternator to work it internaly produces equal amounts of positive and negative electricity as the windings spin around the electro magnet - this positive and negative energy are collected seperately in the rectifier board contaning 3 diods that catch negative electrical energy being produced and send it on the path to ground in the viechle - while the other 3 diods on the rectifier board collect the positive electricity being generated and send that out the charge terminal on the back of the alternator. sometimes the diode in the rectifier board can go bad over time - and heavy use and stop fully filtering out what they are suposed to - and start letting some leak past them. this is a main problem with most common types of alternators - and why the big hype now is the "hair pin" or 6 phase alternator - because they use 6 diode to catch positive and 6 diode to catch negative and send them on their propper paths. makes sence that more can handle a better load over a period of time with less fitigue on the unit it self.... and that is why i have purchaced a singer 320 amp hair pin alternator - and its been awesome ! hope all this makes sence - post if your still not shure [/QUOTE]
