A regulator loses some voltage in regulating its output, known as the dropout voltage. So the input voltage must be at least the output volts plus the dropout volts. If the input voltage is too low, the output will drop out of regulation.

Does the alternator charge your battery when the car is idling?

Yes and no. Yes: The alternator will charge the battery any time the engine is running (even at idle) if the battery's voltage is below the threshold (usually around 12 volts) so that the voltage regulator triggers the alternator to generate power (around 14 volts) until the battery is charged up. No: If there is not enough consumption of power, the battery may be charged enough and the voltage regulator will not trigger power generation.


What is a regulator on a motorcycle?

A regulator is referring to a regulator rectifier which converts the ac voltage put out by the stator to dc voltage and regulates it to a consistent voltage usually 12-14 volts dc.

You are making a battery low indicator with IC 7805 why is IC 7805 used in it?

A: an lm7805 Is a positive regulator if enough voltage is available it will regulate to ~5 volts that is only purpose no matter how it is used.


Why is my 1984 Corvette alternator charging constant 16.3 volts?

The system shouldn't exceed 15 volts. If the battery tests out okay and you are mechanically inclined, you can replace just the voltage regulator inside the original 1984 alternator. A replacement regulator should cost aprox $30.
