1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The charge system is designed to supply electrical energy to the vehicle while driving, and supplies a
constant direct current voltage by converting mechanical rotational movement to electrical energy.
The voltage regulator on the back of the alternator controls the generated voltage in all rotating ranges
and adjusts the system voltage according to the electric load and ambient temperature change.
2) System Layout (Locations)
Alternator
The alternator charges the battery and
supplies power to each electric unit by
converting the mechanical energy to the
electrical energy.
Battery
It converts the chemical energy to the
electrical energy and supplies power to
the corresponding electric units when
starting the engine.
