International Rectifier (IR) recently introduced the local interconnect network (LIN)-controlled alternator-regulator for next-generation vehicles. IR’s solution optimizes performance in intelligent ...

The days of a simple dc-charging subsystem in a car consisting of an alternator, rectifying diodes, basic regulator, and battery are nearly gone—no question of that. Now, the 12-V automotive regulator ...

Prior to 1969, most GM cars used an alternator with an external regulator. While they were good in their day, most early-model alternator cores have been recycled through rebuilders several times, and ...

Retrofitting a modern alternator and then wiring it accordingly is possible, but that often involves certain mounting adaptations, depending on the applications you are merging. Instead of suffering ...

Description: aboard gasoline powered boats Remote LED output indicates relay state away from ACR Supports high-output alternators up to 120A Dual sensingAmperage Operating Current of 175mA (combined) ...

Voltage regulators are power converters that provide voltage control capabilities. They accept a voltage that varies over a given range and generate an output voltage that does not vary. Unlike ...

Did you ever wonder how the mechanical voltage regulator — that big black box wired up to the generator on a car from the ’60s or before — worked? [Jonelsonster] has some answers. For most people in ...
