Genuine Chevrolet Caprice Voltage Regulator

The Voltage Regulator in Chevrolet Caprice vehicles play an important role of monitoring and preventing high Voltage output of the alternator from spoiling the battery and other parts of the electrical system. It regulates the battery voltage at 13.5 to 14.5 volts by monitoring the battery voltage and the load present in the system and varying the current to the field of the rotor of the alternator. When the battery needs to be charged the regulator draws more current through the field but when battery is fully charged the regulator reduces the amount of current to that battery in order not to overcharge the battery. The Chevrolet Caprice car has used various varieties of Voltage Regulators in the course of the years. First, mechanical, externally adjustable voltage stabilizers using coils and contact points were characteristic, the instability of which and wear of the contact points led to overcharging. These were succeeded by digital or solid state which are more efficient than the magnetic and switch at the rate of 7000 cycles per second. In today's Caprice car models, there are internal regulators that are installed with the alternator, while the Voltage Regulator function is usually under the control of the Powertrain Control Module or PCM through which many factors are considered in controlling the charging system output.
