Engine Speed Sensing from Alternator
Engine Speed Sensing from Alternator
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to know how to sense the engine speed from the Alternator current or voltage?
Thnks,
Santo

If you're lucky, you might be able to detect the ripple on the output voltage. Turn that into a train of fixed energy pulses, and you'll have a device whose output power is directly proportional to engine speed.

I have not searched, but there is probably more information on-line available from companies who make tachometers - Datcon, Teleflex, VDO, Stewart-Warner, Faria, etc.
