The Volkswagen Rabbit Alternator makes the car lively by producing electricity which not only recharges the battery but also supplies power to the lights, fans, and screens as long as the engine operates. It was designed with a two-piece aluminum shell with a stator that is held still and a rotor rotating by the belt on the crankshaft. The rotating rotor passes a magnetic field across the stator windings, inducing alternating current that is immediately converted through internal diodes to direct current that fits the vehicle circuits. A regulator adjusts field current to the proper voltage. Previous Volkswagen compacts were dependent on a separate or internally mounted unit, but late-model Volkswagen models delegate that responsibility to the powertrain control module, ensuring that the output remains constant and that the battery is not overcharged. Every Alternator has brushes, bearings, a front-mounted pulley, and a small cooling fan that moves air through the casing to cool the unit. Heat sinks on the sides of the diodes are applied to ensure the rectifier survives continuous current flow. The dimensions of the unit combined with these features render it small enough to be located in the front of the engine bay of the Rabbit, which is the area with the great airflow. Since numerous add-ons that use electricity were added over the generations of Volkswagen, the output capacity increased, but the principle was the same. Power parts take an instant hold of the newly produced current rather than depleting the battery when the key is turned, demonstrating the importance of the part in day-to-day drives. A healthy Alternator is thus one of the highly reliable components under the hood.
