The VAZ voltage regulator is represented by several models on the modern market. The industry produces several brands: RN-1, 12.3702, RN-6, RN-5, RN-4 and RN-2. The first two models are the simplest, respectively, and cheaper. However, their characteristics are very different, depending on the circumstances. If the VAZ voltage regulator is discharged, the characteristics also decrease. At the same time, if the terminals are oxidized or the clamps are loose, the resistance in the circle will increase. In this case, you may need to check the voltage regulator.

Sometimes in order to adjust it, you will need to thoroughly soak the contact, after twisting the tips on the terminals and loosening the clamps. After a certain time, it will not be superfluous to cover the voltage regulator with a thin layer of technical vaseline. This will help prevent oxidation. However, if the battery will not be used for a long time, it is best to store it at sub-zero temperatures. In this case, its discharge will be minimal. In the event that during storage the density of the electrolyte has greatly decreased, an automotive voltage regulator is requiredrecharge.

During the operation of such a battery, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the outer surface and the integrity of the mastic layer. If at least one wire has come off the brush that the generator is equipped with, then in order to connect it, it is necessary to make a special hole in the end, the diameter of which will exceed the diameter of the wire by at least 0.3 mm. After that, it is worth filling the recess with glue, for example, BF-2, which is mixed with graphite crumble. Once cured, the glue can hold the wire and brush firmly together.

But the RN-6 voltage regulator is equipped with a special device designed to turn off the winding of this device in the event that the engine stops working. That is why it is best to choose batteries of the RN-6, RN-5 and RN-4 brands. For example, you can always replace the VAZ-2108 or 2109 voltage regulator with spare parts that have charging control lamps. On those VAZ vehicles that are equipped with a G221 generator, regulators of the RN-6, RN-5 and RN-4 brands are mounted instead of models such as PP380, using its own mounting pins.

In any case, even for novice motorists, the connection diagram of the regulator should not cause difficulties. First of all, it is worth considering that for the load it is best to use the rotor winding of a standard generator. In extreme cases, you can choose an ordinary incandescent bulb, but in this case, you can delete the ammeter from the circuit.

Method by which the relay-regulator is configuredVAZ voltage, not so complicated, but often you still have to go to a car repair shop. In the event that a “floating” defect was noticed during the operation of the generator, experts recommend soldering the problem areas. But at the same time, it is forbidden to use acidic fluxes, since they conduct electricity well. An excellent connection is obtained using a completely ordinary rosin.
