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.
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.
To test a 2008 V-Rod regulator, first ensure the motorcycle is off and disconnect the battery. Use a multimeter to check the output voltage of the regulator by connecting the meter's leads to the output terminals while the engine is running; you should see a voltage between 13.5 to 14.5 volts. If the voltage is outside this range or fluctuates significantly, the regulator may be faulty. Additionally, inspect the connectors and wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion.
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.
Around 330 watts. For a car battery.
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.
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.
To control the alternator's output voltage under varying loads.In simple terms it regulates the voltage being sent to the battery.
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.
In a 1993 Suzuki SJ410, the voltage regulator is typically wired directly to the alternator's output terminal and the vehicle’s electrical system. The regulator connects to the battery to monitor voltage levels, ensuring stable output. Additionally, it may have a ground connection to complete the circuit. Proper wiring is essential for the regulator to effectively control the alternator's output and prevent overcharging.
A pressure regulator is a control valve that reduces the input pressure of a fluid to a desired value at its output.
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.
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.
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.
No, the voltage regulator does not charge the battery; it manages the voltage output from the alternator to ensure that the electrical system operates within a safe range. The charging of the battery typically occurs through the alternator, which generates electricity when the engine is running. The voltage regulator helps maintain the proper voltage level to prevent overcharging or undercharging the battery.
No. More likely bad brushes or a bad internal regulator.
To check a Briggs and Stratton regulator, first ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Then, inspect the regulator for any visible damage or corrosion. Use a multimeter to measure the output voltage; it should typically be around 13.5 to 14.5 volts when the engine is running. If the output is outside this range or inconsistent, the regulator may need replacement.
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.
