The alternator is an essential component of a forklift engine. In this article we will discuss more about the basic operation of a forklift alternator.

A forklift alternator is an electromechanical device & it is able to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Normally you will find it connected with a starter motor. The main function of the alternator is to recharge the battery & power the electrical system of the forklift truck while the engine is operating. This small, rotating machine performs its function as an alternating current & it gets the power from internal combustion engines. This alternating current is then converted into direct current by silicon diodes & a set of rectifiers. This direct current need to be supplied with low ripple & a three-phase winding does this job. A solenoid is also present in the system that operates as an electrical switch.
