What are some of the drawbacks of the generator when compared to the alternator?

- For a generator to have high output, more current must flow through the brushes. Current flow causes brushes to wear out. If a generator were designed to put out 60-80 amps, it would have to have from six to eight brushes.
- Generator speed is limited to about 10,000 rpm.
- Generators do not produce enough output at low speeds of city traffic to satisfy the demands of electrical accessories.
