the regulator monitors battery or system voltage and adjusts current flow or magnetic field to the rotor. The magnetism of the rotor causes power to be generated in the stator. This supplies power to run the vehicle ands charge the battery. In other words the regulator adjusts the magnetic power required to make electricity. In operation it keeps vehicle system voltage to between 14.0 to 14.7 volts.

What is the difference of a fixed regulator from an adjustable regulator?
A fixed voltage regulator outputs only one specific voltage. An adjustable voltage regulator can be adjusted to output any voltage from the range it was designed for by changing the output resistors.
How does a voltage regulator regulate the voltage output of an ac generator?
Generator output is controlled by voltage feedback to the voltage regulator which senses voltage drop or rise and regulates the current being sent to the armature. This rise and fall of the armature current governs the generators output voltage.
What is the wattage output for a 25 amp battery charger?
Around 330 watts. For a car battery.
What causes voltage on 1999 Saturn sl2 to go from 12.2V to 14V at random times?
The cause is the voltage regulator within the alternator (working normal). When the voltage higher it is charging the battery like after you start your car or have the headlights and wipers on. The voltage regulator keeps your battery charged up. In order to charge the battery, voltage must be higher than battery voltage.
Where do the 2 wires go from the little white plug on the alternator on a 82 Suburban 350?
A 95 LeSabre, with the factory alternator, would typically have one larger wire to the back of the unit, then a regulator plug on the side. The large wire is the battery connection, and is usually connected, using a fusible link, to the battery connection at the starter. The regulator connection I couldn't say for sure without the wiring diagram for the vehicle, but usually one wire always has voltage, and the other has voltage when the ignition key is turned on.
Will a 2002 chrysler voyager still run if you take the battery cables off?
Maybe. The engine computer is the voltage regulator, with the battery disconnected it may not be able to control the alternator output voltage correctly. This could cause it to go low or high.Maybe. The engine computer is the voltage regulator, with the battery disconnected it may not be able to control the alternator output voltage correctly. This could cause it to go low or high.
What is the function of the regulator in an alternator?
To control the alternator's output voltage under varying loads.In simple terms it regulates the voltage being sent to the battery.
Why would your battery light stay on after you have put in a new battery and alternator?
The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.
Once the generator and the regulator control panel have been checked you can connect the runway cables into the on the regulator?
output current
What a pressure regulator valve?
A pressure regulator is a control valve that reduces the input pressure of a fluid to a desired value at its output.
Does harley voltage regulator get a breaker before wired to the battery?
No. The DC output from the voltage regulator is connected directly to either the positive terminal of the battery or the hot side of the starter relay on some older models.
What is the Input and output of a motorcycle regulator?
Depends on the size & rating of the battery and alternator. Tested & replaced one for a friend a while ago... his bike a `93 1100ViragoXV. That had a 12v battery and the regulator was outputting around 13.2v. Output should be slightly more than batteries output, input is irrelevant if your alternator is kicking out as it should. Suggest you find a workshop manual for the bike or contact the manufacturer of the regulator for exact specs.
What is the function of a regulator on a VW Beetle?
the generator output varies with engine speed, so the regulator makes sure the battery is always charging at around 14V, or it'd blow up. a 6V battery charges at 7V.
Can a fuse cause an alternator not give enough output to charge the battery?
No. More likely bad brushes or a bad internal regulator.
Can the voltage regulator stop the motor from firing on a 1990 dodge 250 van?
No, the voltage regulator determines the alternators output voltage. That's all it does. If the regulator fails the battery level can drop to the point that there will not be sufficient charge to start the engine, but the regulator will not directly cause the engine to not run.
Is a regulator a motor or a part of a motor?
A regulator is a part needed for the motor. It regulates electrical power from one place to another. Answer 2 A regulator is usually the part that regulates the electrical output from a dynamo/alternator in a motor car so that the battery is charged correctly.
What does a rectifier regulator do?
A rectifier usually means a (set of) electronic components that turns AC into DC, which you need to charge a battery for instance. A regulator - well, it regulates something. Considering the category the question is posted in I'd say it regulates the charging of the battery and/or the output voltage of the rectifier.
