Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Any use to anyone ? Dead alternator
« on: 19 June 2020, 17:19:48 »
Fed up of tripping over it. Is my dead 120A alternator of any interest to anyone ?
I couldn't split the diode pack - but thinking these are actually okay.
It does *need* a rear bearing, the plastic bearing surround is intact (which is more than can be said for the bearing cage). The rings have been scored but have cleaned up nicely, brushes some life in them and all makes good contact - checked under rotation too.
I did spin it will a small battery drill but suspect far too slow, the output didn't put out my makeshift 'charge' lamp, I did gets some voltage out of it but not enough although this likely equated to an in-car speed of only 250-500rpm.
