No but in general principle they are the same but in reality they're not the same inter working as a stator are brushless
Stator vs. Alternator: What is the Difference?
When trying to understand the difference between a stator and an alternator, we first need to identify what specifically we are comparing.
Stator vs. Automotive Style Alternator (all-in-one style unit)
A motorcycle stator is a component of the electrical system that, when combined with a rotating magnet, creates AC current. Stators are inside the engine case.
An automotive style alternator is a fully self-contained, externally mounted unit that creates DC current. Another difference between stators and automotive style alternators is the type of magnet uses. Stators use a permanent magnet, and automotive alternators use an electro-magnet.
Stator vs. Motorcycle Alternator
As stated above, a stator is one component of the motorcycle charging systems. Motorcycle alternator refers to a collection of components that includes the stator, but also includes magnets and a rectifier/regulator (devices that convert AC current to DC current and maintain steady output).
