Texas Tech Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have questions about some alternators, so basically i am looking at excessive amperage and iraggi.I can get both for around the same money and they both are 200 amp alternators. When you say 200 amp alternator, that means 200 amps max, so it is capable of doing 200 amps but after that yuor alternator will be messed up(i dont know how to say it i duno what happens to it) Alternators arent over rated or anything are they? I just want to make sure that what i get is what i need, 180 amps seems definetly enough for my system. I am not sure how much my cars electrical components will need, someone said around 10-30 amps i duno. Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say 200 amp alternator, that means 200 amps max, so it is capable of doing 200 amps but after that yuor alternator will be messed up(i dont know how to say it i duno what happens to it) first off what amps(s) and how many watts are they? next a 200amp wont give out anymore than 200 amps.

ChevyBoy Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 alternators can be overrated or underrated depending on who made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tech Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 okay so what about excessive amperage? They said the max is 200 amp alt with direct bolt on, does direct bolt on mean just keeping the alternator int eh same place and bolting it to the same place the stcok alt was bolted to.

Coolwazabi Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 i read somewhere if u get a 200a alt then thats the max... and at normal idle speed its about 40% of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 They actually vary quite a bit. I've seen Iraggi offers some that are different series like Amputator vs Doominator series and they my both be 200amp but one does 75amp @ idle and the other does 175amp @ idle. I would assume the 175amp @ idle would be either MUCH tighter wound or just involve a different VOLTAGE REGULATOR (be it internal or external). If you have Q's on it and want some professional help, email Dom Iraggi. I'm sure he could let ya know the ins and outs and recommend the bst scenario based on tonns of experience. I am saving up for an Iraggi unit myself.

Texas Tech Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well right now i got T302 with P2's but i am going to go with maybe 2 T1's, definetly 1, so depending on if i go with two or not is between the T1001bd amp or the T500-1bd amp . then i am going to have a T400-4 amp for speakers and tweeters and i am going to probably use the T3002 for 1 sub and some speakers also The sad thing is, ia hve the money, i ahve been saving up, but i dont got the time. OFcourse with teh new alt will come the big three and a new battery Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
