An alternator phase detection system for an alternator has a stator winding (115) that provides a stator winding signal bounded within a range. The stator winding signal has a leakage magnitude when the alternator is stationary and a charging magnitude when the alternator is rotating. A leakage compensation circuit (245, 247) biases the stator winding (115) of the alternator by providing a leakage compensation current to the stator winding if the leakage magnitude of the stator winding signal is positioned apart from a boundary of the range, thereby changing the magnitude of the stator winding signal which negates the erroneous effect of rectifier leakage on measurement of alternator motion. A comparator circuit (101) provides an alternator startup state of a status signal (137) if the magnitude of the stator winding signal does noir exceed a predetermined threshold.
