REGULATOR

Description

The

regulator
basically
consists
of
a

voltage

regulator
and
a

charge
relay
The

voltage

regulator
has
two
sets

of
contact

poInts
a

lower
set

and

upper
set
to

control
alternator

voltage
An

at
mature

plate
placed
between

the
two
sets
of
contacts

moves

upward
or

downward
or

Vibrates
The
lower
contacts

when

complete
the
field
CIrCUIt

field
COl

and

produces

alternator

output

The

charge
lelay
IS
SimIlar
In

constructIOn
to

the

voltage
regulator

When
the

are
closed
