1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2018

107000 miles on the car. Started car in the morning and it made a whining noise. Didn't think much of it because it was colder than it had been. After warming up a few minutes drove down my road about a mile and the battery light came on. Turned around at went back home. Popped the hood and smelled strong burning smell. Problem was found to be the alernator. When I pulled it to replace it noticed that the windings inside the alternator were burt and chared/melted.
