The wiring diagram represents the detailed working of an alternator in the car to generate electricity. The simple three-wire alternator has basic sub-components such as a rotor, stator, rectifier, slip rings, and a shaft. The alternator uses the energy from the engine and generates DC voltage to be stored in the car’s battery. There also exists a rectifier circuit that flips the current to DC for the battery. A red cable carries battery power to the alternator, a white cable turns it on with the ignition and a yellow wire tells it how much power to make based on the battery’s level.
