What is a three-level voltage regulator and what is it for? This is a device that automatically maintains AC voltage at the terminals of the vehicle's alternator. It is located in the side panel. This device is needed in order to enable the vehicle battery to charge normally.
The three-level voltage regulator itself is installed on board the car, and its panel or brush-type assembly (depending on the modification of the device) - directly into the generator. The levels of the voltage regulated by it are switched using the three-position toggle switch built into the generator regulator, depending on the following conditions:
- Minimum - 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, during long climbs.
- Norm - the voltage level is not more than 14, 2 Volts. It is installed when the car is operated at an air temperature from zero to plus twenty degrees Celsius.
- Maximum - voltage level14.7 volts. It must be set 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 has been significantly discharged when connecting a TV, refrigerator and car radio.
The use by the owner of a vehicle of such a device as a three-level voltage regulator makes it possible not only to completely solve all problems with charging the battery, but also to significantly increase its service life.
The regular voltage regulator built directly into the generator, which has negative thermal compensation, is simply unable to control the ambient temperature outside the generator, so the air temperature inside the generator itself can sometimes exceed 100ºС. 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 standard 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. For all products of the enterprise that produces such devices, they give a company warranty from the date of sale. Three-level voltage regulator for automotive vehicles
funds are packed by the manufacturer inpersonal branded packaging and has detailed instructions for installation and operation. Installation work, or rather, the installation of such an indispensable device as a three-level voltage regulator, can be performed even by a beginner - there is no need for special knowledge and devices. A three-level voltage regulator is used as an alternative to the regular one.
