I'm trying to determine the amount of load (power loss) a theoretical engine will suffer from an AC alternator, such as one you would find on an automobile engine, they produce something of 40 amps with 110 volts I believe? To be specific, I'm curious to know how much a theoretical engine would suffer from an alternator when it is at maximum capacity for only .005- .010 of a second. I understand a lot more goes into it but if anyone has a general idea of what I could expect that would be appreciated
