What is a three-level voltage regulator and why is it needed? This is a device that automatically maintains AC voltage at the terminals of the vehicle’s generator. It is located in the side panel. This device is needed in order to enable the battery of the vehicle to charge normally.
A three-level
voltage regulator is installed on board the car, and its panel or brush-type assembly (depending on the modification of the device) is installed directly in the generator. The levels of voltage regulated by it are switched using the three-position toggle switch built-in to the regulator, depending on such conditions:
- Minimum - the voltage level is not more than 13.6 volts. It is installed when the car is operated at an air temperature of minus twenty to plus twenty degrees Celsius, for example, with prolonged rises.
- Norm - the voltage level is not more than 14.2 volts. It is installed during operation of the car at an air temperature from zero to plus twenty degrees Celsius.
- Maximum - voltage level of 14.7 volts. It must be installed when the car is operated at sub-zero air temperatures, after a long period of inactivity of the car, and also if additional consumers of electricity are turned on or the battery was significantly discharged when a TV, refrigerator and car radio were connected.
The use of such a device as a three-level voltage regulator by the owner of an automobile means makes it possible not only to completely solve all problems with
charging the battery, but also to significantly increase its service life.
A standard voltage regulator built in directly into the generator, which has negative thermal compensation, simply cannot control the ambient temperature outside the generator, since the air temperature inside the generator itself can sometimes exceed 100 ° C. Here we should also mention the fact that when additional loads are turned on, namely headlights, a stove, glass heaters, etc., the battery can be discharged even with a working regular voltage regulator and a running engine.
In order to save the driver from such unpleasant situations, a three-level voltage regulator was developed. This device has proven its reliability and, of course, efficiency many times. All products manufactured by such devices are given a corporate guarantee from the date of sale. Three-level voltage regulator for automotive vehicles
funds is packaged by the manufacturer in personalized company packaging and has detailed installation and operation instructions.
Installation work, or rather, the installation of such an indispensable device as a three-level voltage regulator, can be performed even by a novice - there is no need for special knowledge and devices. A three-level voltage regulator is used as an alternative to the standard one.
