How To Prevent Problems Dinamo Ampere
Alternator or dynamo called the ampere is a device that serves as a generator that produces electrical current alternating current (AC) and direct current as well turn it into a current (DC). This component also loaded energy power to the battery.
Therefore, if the amperage alternator or dynamo is faulty then the engine will not be able distater. Although the battery was new once. "Alternator is rarely broken except the life that has been exhausted or worn out," said Ahmad Junaidi, mechanical workshop dynamo Award, Kebon Nanas, Tangerang, on Wednesday (13/4).
However, continued Junaidi, new alternator can be damaged due to wrong treatment. One of the causes of destruction that is the electrical load on the car that is much larger than the maximum capacity of this device.
Generally, manufacturers design capacity alternator 40-60 Amphere. While the ideal age 6-6 years. "But, if the treatment of the owner of the device is good, it will be more durable," said Junaidi.
So what kind of treatment that makes it durable alternator? Junaidi share tips for you:
1. Make sure the power usage is really right
As mentioned above, most manufacturers design the alternator has a certain capacity. Therefore, we recommend the use of electronic devices which consume a lot of power stun is also limited in order not to exceed.
When electricity use is only done once or twice, decreased ability alternator will not be visible. But if it is done on a continuous basis, then the alternator will decrease the ability to produce an electric current.
Some ways to avoid the problem that was not turn on Air Conditioner (AC), audio, wipers, and other electronic devices in your car simultaneously. Indeed, car manufacturers to design their products have more ability despite all electronic devices turned on but the alternator will not come up short.
"But the ability alternator still has its limits. Because of that, consider the terms of the manufacturer, "warned-warned Junaidi.
2. Make sure the battery poles and cables installed correctly
Installation should be noted serius.Pasalnya, when mounting pole is wrong, or upside down, it will be broken or damaged kiprok. Likewise with a variety of electrical cable.
When the installation of the cables is not appropriate, other causes also potentially wasteful power IC quickly broken alternator.
Wiring needs to be checked is also included plus cable alternator to the battery plus cable. Because, if the connections are incorrect or loose and high-rev engine the alternator will be damaged.
3. Make sure the belt-Belt V voltage regulator installed correctly
One thing you must consider is, the level of tension or position of V-Belt loose and not too tight. If too tight round the alternator forced exceed the capacity or ability.
"As a result, alternator bearing will be damaged," said Junaidi.
So even if the rope or belt is too loose, will pull halting. Thus, in addition to the electrical current generated is not constant, alternator bearing also quickly damaged.
In fact, the electronic devices in cars that use the resources of the alternator and battery shock will be broken. Because the intake of electricity flowing into a device is not steady.
4. Prevent body contact with the wires plus alternator
When that happens, it will trigger pndek circuit or shorted. As a result, alternator or dynamo amperes will be damaged. "Therefore, it is advisable to install a safety plus poles.
In addition, you should regularly check the condition of the alternator at least three months. "At the time of an oil change at the garage usually no detection equipment battery and alternator conditions," said Junaidi.
