How can I test an alternator (possibly with a multimeter) and/or any alternator project ideas?

Jan 27, 2007 by needanswers | Posted in Engineering

I am currently working on a generator project. I am using a motor to turn an alternator to produce electricity. I have hooked the pulley on the motor to the pulley on the alternator with a belt. I am fairly sure the alternator is spinning fast enough

if its a gm alternator it has an internal voltage regulator,to get current install an amp meter in series with the alt and battery
