(1) Voltage Regulator: Conversion of AC Voltage to DC Current – The voltage regulator takes up a small portion of the generator’s output of AC voltage and converts it into DC current. The voltage regulator then feeds this DC current to a set of secondary windings in the stator, known ...
So it's just a matter of connecting the output of the alternator to the voltage regulator? Output of the alternator goes to the battery. Voltage regulator goes to both - senses battery state and engages the alternator clutch (energizes field coil) to control the alternator as...
A voltage supplied through the voltage regulator to the rotor winding energizes the rotor and turns it into a magnet. The rotor is rotated by the engine via a drive belt.The magnetic field produced by the rotating rotor induces AC electric current in the stationary stator winding. Diodes are...
Caution:If the master station connects directly to your home's electrical system, be sure to de-energize the circuit involved and take precautions to prevent someone else from turning it back on while you are working on the circuit. If a transformer is supplied with the master station to powe...
Voltage Control Logic Board:This is the smarts of the combiner/VSR. This logic board simply measures the voltage at both Batt 1 and Batt 2 terminals and then tells the coil when to energize or de-energize to close or open the relay. Good quality combiners/VSR/ACR’s also have combine/un...
In the inverter circuits this relay is used for switching the load from one power source to other. Our power source of 12V energize the relay as well as provides input to the 7805 IC (shown along diode D1 in the circuit diagram). In this state, the load gets connected to the 7805 IC...
An X-Ray tube requires a low voltage, high current power supply to energize its heater; something which must be derived from the 14V bus. A linear regulator would burn away unacceptable amounts of power so a switch mode regulator must be used instead. If grounded the cathode does not requi...
Plasma globes can be used for experimenting with high voltages. If a conductive plate or wire coil is placed on the globe, capacitive coupling can transfer enough voltage to the plate or coil to produce a small arc or energize a high voltage load. This is possible because the plasma inside...
