alternator capacity

  • To determine minimum capacity for an alternator:
  • Minimum alternator output = Total load x 1.20, where total load comprises continuous night-winter load
  • Add 20 percent (.20) to accommodate anticipated intermittent load
  • In most cases, a 2.51:1 or better alternator drive ratio will provide a reasonably adequate system output.
