Rob a few years back my 40 amp alt on STranger karked it. I had it rebuilt at an Auto Electrics shop. They respun the centre and its working juST fine after another 100,000k's :think1 Maybe ask about over your way if any Auto Electricians know someone to rewind the centre spool bit and replace anything else that needs fixing. :grin

"the centre spool bit" = rotor.
The stationary part is called the armature.
Good to know the names when you go visiting the electrician- gives the impression you know what you're talking about. :grin

the centre spool bit" = rotor. or Armature
The stationary bit is called the Stator
Minor correction o:) o:)

Funnily enough, that's what I was taught on the Twin Otter Ground School (where it's DC, but same spinning part). So I thought I'd better check before dredging up the memory and I found this:

which I took to be pointing at the stator.
Correction welcome! :thumbs

Some people call alternators generators which I guess is what they are with the difference being that the armature and field coils are reversed in the alternator or as I have also seen called as an AC generator.

Alternators produce AC (usually in 3 phase) and rectify it to DC.
Generators produce DC direct.
