Typical alternator output

Submitted by TullyK on

Forum: 

It says on the Sportrak spec that the alternator is 50A, but how much output can be expected at a typical driving engine speed, let's say 2500rpm?

I have some plans for driving lights that will at times increase the constant load to 30A.

Out of interest, what is the minimum output, I assume at idle speed?

Thanks in advance

Certain factors affect an alternators output such as load and engine speed, if you read the electrical sections in the "How It Works" section there is a piece on wiring and alternators, and their output.
