Types of Alternators
Alternators for sale can be divided into 5 different types:

- Diesel-electric locomotive alternators used in trains
- Radio alternators used to generate radio waves

- Marine alternators used in ships and boats
Ultimately, the alternator you opt for should be designed for your purposes. At Probe, we provide premium alternators for cars and heavy-duty fleets.
Alternator vs Generator
An alternator turns mechanical energy into AC electricity, or alternating current, while a generator converts mechanical energy to either AC or DC (direct current) electricity. In other words, both devices convert mechanical energy into electricity, but while an alternator can only generate an alternating current, a generator can generate alternating and direct currents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alternators turn mechanical energy into electricity. Alternators for cars are activated by a drive belt. The drive belt activates a pulley which turns the rotor shaft of the alternator. This then spins magnets around a coil, resulting in electricity.
