Practice question

A school bus charging system passes an output test but the battery is chronically undercharged. A voltage-drop test of the alternator ground path reads 0.9V under load. This indicates:

  1. Excessive resistance in the alternator ground reducing effective charging voltage
  2. A normal alternator ground
  3. An overcharged battery
  4. A failed neutral safety switch

Answer: A — Excessive resistance in the alternator ground reducing effective charging voltage
