Put a voltage divider between Vout and Vadjust pins. See page 9 of the datasheet from National's site.
Inside the generators junction box there will be termination points that the generator coils terminate on. On the inside of the lid of the junction box there should be a diagram for different connections allowed for that generator. By moving jumpers around across these terminals a variety of voltages can be obtained.
There is no particular benefit for having a higher open-circuit (or 'no-load') voltage. In fact, an ideal voltage source would have no internal resistance and, therefore, its open-circuit voltage would be identical to its closed-circuit voltage.
Having a low voltage, or designed to work at low voltages.
Rectifiers will not give a smooth DC voltage. There are ripples in the voltage given the rectifier. So in order to smoothen the voltage we use capacitor in parallel to the rectifier output. Now lets see how the capacitor smoothen the voltage that is coming from a rectifier...... Capacitor blocks DC and allows AC...... If we take the voltage that is coming from the rectifier it has some ripples in addition to DC, these ripples can be divided in to sinusoidal wave forms ( fictitious )according to the Fourier series. So the rippled DC now divided ( fictitious ) in to a pure DC and sinusoidal AC wave forms having the frequency that is multiples of ripple frequency. Now the DC current will not pass through the capacitor as the capacitor blocks DC. But the AC will pass through it i.e the ripple wave forms that are divided ( fictitious ) in to sinusoidal AC wave forms will pass through the capacitor. So only DC current enters in to the load, which will produce a pure DC voltage drop across the load. In this manner the capacitor smoothens the voltage.
You can make a voltage divider set of resistors and tap off the desired voltage. Some voltage regulators can be fed much higher voltages. The regulator will provide a constant settable voltage with short circuit and overload protection. There are DC to DC converters. They first turn the DC into AC then rectify it and produce DC.
The voltage regulator on a 1989 Chevy Camaro is inside of the alternator. If you are having issues, such as flickering lights, you might have to replace the entire alternator.
I'm having problems with the voltage regulator.
Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator
Inside the alternator. It's part of the alternator. If you are having problems with low or high voltage output, I'd recommend replacing the alternator as a unit.
It is part of the alternator. If you are having problems keeping a charge or problem with high voltage, you might want to consider replacing your entire alternator.
i have a 1999 having same prob. need info myself . everything checks out good with ststor even replaced regulator. still having same prob.
Almost all GM vehicles come with an altinator that has a "built in" voltage regulator. Unless you are familiar with rebuilding GM type altinators(sp) I would just consider having it tested to determine if it's truly bad or possibly another issue.
its the ECU, im having same prob. that's where voltage regulator is at
Yes it is. I am having trouble with alternators on my 95 Aspire. They keep going out and I cannot find the problem.
on facing the side having black cover ie the front side...starting from the left.. pin1:supply pin2:ground pin3:output
Sounds like your voltage regulator has gone haywire and needs to be replaced. Having 20 volts going to the rest of the electrical system, especially lamps, fuses and headlights may cause some other problems.
