Do you need a voltage regulator if you hook up a 12 volt light to a 24 volt system?

Hook a 12 volt light to a 24 volt system and the light will burn out in seconds. You need a step-down voltage converter to do this.

How do you adjust and polarize the voltage regulator in a 1970 Ford?
A 1970 ford has a external regulator It's probably possible to adjust one by ajusting the contact points inside the regulator and I'm assuming it has a older style regulator but I don't think it will do much good. Replace the regulator. Disconnect the battery hook up the regulator hook battery up and boom it's polarized.
How do you hook up a ford external voltage regulator?
Here is the proper hookup Voltage regulator teminal (I) goes to key switch Acc or Coil Risistor Voltage regulator teminal (A) goes to Alternator Battery Connection Voltage regulator teminal (S) goes to Alternator Stator Connection Voltage regulator teminal (F) goes to Alternator Field Connection Below is Incorrect. Hope this Helps. Ok this is the info that I have so far: (12VDC SYSTEM NEG GROUND) There should be multiple letters on the voltage regulator itself. The F goes onto the field post on the positive side of the alternator. The I goes to a fused + 12vdc (fuse panel) The A ? The S ? I think this goes to the switched "on" ignition point of the key. Any other valuable hints? F terminal on the regulator connects to the field connection on the alt. S terminal on regulator connects to the stator connection on alt. A terminal on regulator connects to the battery +( Plus) or positive terminal. (senses voltage of battery) I terminal on the regulator connects to the ignition switch. (turns regulator off & on) Caution do not connect I to spark coil +(positive) terminal,: may cause engine not to turn off.
How do you hook up a ford internal voltage regulator?
To get to an internal voltage regulator first disconnect the battery ground ( negative cable ) then remove the alternator. Make sure you mark the cables on the alternator so you can put them back exactly where they are supposed to go. The voltage regulator is inside the alternator and you will have to take it apart. I'm not sure how the regulator is mounted in your alternator, it might have small studs with nuts on them, or small screws or bolts, or it may be soldered in. In the latter case you will have to cut out the voltage regulator and solder in the new one. If you are going to take out the alternator anyway you should probably take it to a parts store where they will test it for free and tell you if you need a whole new alternator or just the voltage regulator.
Can you hook up a new regulator to an alternator without actually attaching it to the alternator?
Voltage regulators are often built into the alternators now, this wasn't always the case. Older vehicles had separate voltage regulators mounted on firewalls or the side of the engine compartment, wired in between from the alternator to the battery. The positive lead now goes directly to the battery from the alternator/regulator.
Does the electric fuel pump hook up to the voltage regulator on a 1966 dodge coronet 500 with a 440 motor that was put in it?
heavens no, you want to run a separate line to the fuse box for the pump through a relay.
Even if the battery is dead shouldn't light come on when i hook up battery cables?
NO! where does the power (voltage and current) come from if the battery is flat/dead?
How do you charge a battery using dynamo?
A "Dynamo" is a DC charger; these will overcharge any battery there is and requires a regulator circuit, they will produce voltage proportional to their rotation. Simply hook it to the battery (watch your positive and negative) and crank the generator / dynamo.
Should you turn the breaker off to hook up a light fixture?
Most definitely! More people are killed by 120 volts that any other voltage.
When was Sandy Hook Light created?
Sandy Hook Light was created in 1764.
Can you hook more than one solar battery charger in series to charge a 36 volt system?
It is important for solar battery charger output voltage to match voltage of battery system being charged. Voltage is additive in series circuits, therefore 3 12VDC solar battery chargers connected in series would provide correct output to charge a 36VDC system.
How do you change corvette 283 motor with a generator to an alternator?
The easiest way is to get a late model one-wire alternator, I think circa mid 80's. As by its description, you hook one wire to the battery---and you are charging. It's got the voltage regulator built in. Of course, you will need to figure out how to hook up you alt/ charge light. You'll also need the late model alternator brackets from a junker-or get new chrome ones. Your next cheaper but more labor intensive is to get the alternator, brackets, voltage regulator, and wiring harness from a late 60's to late 70's gm product. Again, you'll need to figure out how to wire the charge light. If I remember right you'll need a hot wire from the fuse box to excite the alternator to charge. I had a 74 Monte Carlo that blew the instrument panel fuse and it quit charging.
Can you hook up a 12 volt light to a 33cc scooter?
Yes, if you have a 12 volt battery and/or a charging system to support it.
