Genuine Chevrolet El Camino Voltage Regulator

The Voltage Regulator in Chevrolet El Camino vehicles plays a big role of protecting the battery and the over all electrical system by regulating output voltage from the alternator which is usually between 13.5 volts and 14.5 volts. This is done through the measurement of battery voltage and the system's requirements, then controlling the field current to the alternator rotor. When the battery needs charging the regulator increases the field current while it reduces the current after battery charge is full, to avoid over charging. Throughout the years various Voltage Regulators have been used in Chevrolet El Camino. At first, there were mechanical externally operated regulators which used coils and contact points that were easily worn out causing overcharging. These were replaced, over time by electronic, solid-state Voltage Regulators that are far more efficient, switching in and out many times faster. In later years, internal regulators which are part of the alternator have been incorporated with the Powertrain Control Module PCM being charged with the responsibility of managing the Voltage Regulator function since it is able to factor several other concerns in an effort to optimize the output of the charging system.
