The thesis deals with the design and construction of a laboratory measurement setup to demonstrate the operation of an automotive alternator, enabling easy measurement and analysis of key alternator parameters under controlled conditions. The measurement setup also allows the alternator to be adapted to operate as a synchronous generator, thereby expanding the possibilities for experimental measurements.
The thesis provides a detailed presentation of the alternator’s construction, including its main components. It explains the theoretical principles underlying the alternator’s operation as well as the principles of voltage regulation and overvoltage protection.
In the experimental part, the design of the measurement station is described, and measurements of the alternator’s characteristics were performed. These include no-load test and load test on the synchronous generator, the regulation characteristics, and the operation of the overvoltage protection. The measurement results are presented and analyzed using oscillograms and graphs.
The practical application with conducted measurements confirms that the constructed measurement setup enables an effective demonstration of the alternator's operation and easy adaptation for various applications.
