Posted November 30, 20177 yr Can I Test for AC ribble with my Fluke multi meter? My local Alternator/ starter repair shop can check it again but I have to remove my alt. from my truck because he only does bench testing He also said there will always be some slight AC ripple. Is that true? . Edited November 30, 20177 yr by GSP7
August 10, 20195 yr Where should you take the AC voltage reading, at the battery terminals or the alternator + stud to case? On mine the measurements at the alternator are much higher than at the battery.
August 10, 20195 yr At the alternator. Reason it's lower at the batteries is the batteries are acting like a filter and soaking up some of the AC.
