Alternator Voltage Regulators Voltage regulators for DC alternators are similar to those found on DC generators. The general concepts are the same in that adjusting alternator field current controls alternator output. Regulators for most DC alternators are either the vibrating ... section on generator regulators. As the points of the relay open, the field current is lowered and alternator output is lowered and vice versa. Figure 9-71. Alternator brushes. Solid-State Regulators Solid-state regulators for modern light aircraft…

possible before connecting them together. Regulating the voltage output of a DC exciter, which supplies current to the alternator rotor field, best controls the output voltage of an alternator. This is accomplished by the regulation of a 28-volt system ... exciter. A regulator controls the exciter field current and thus regulates the exciter output voltage applied to the alternator field. Figure 12-339. Overspeed circuit. Alternator Transistorized Regulators Many aircraft alternator systems use a transistorized voltage regulator to control…

Alternators & Controls DC alternators (like generators) change mechanical energy into electrical energy by the process of electromagnetic induction. In general, DC alternators are lighter and more efficient than DC generators. DC alternators and their related controls are found on modern ... light, piston-engine aircraft. The alternator is mounted in the engine compartment driven by a v-belt, or drive gear mechanism, which receives power from the aircraft engine. [Figure 9-64] The control system of a DC alternator is used…
