What can kill a voltage regulator?

What can kill a voltage regulator?

A poor connection across the 30 amp main can burn up a alternator, or regulator. A shorted battery cell will kill the alternator, or regulator if you run the bike.

How to test an ATV stator, rectifier and battery?

If your vehicle’s electrical system isn’t charging properly, and your regulator/rectifier is one that can’t be completely tested with a multimeter, use a process of elimination to determine which of the three main components is at fault. Watch the video below for more on how to test an ATV stator, rectifier and battery.

How to test a regulator rectifier for UTV?

https://www.partzilla.com/product/aft… A regulator rectifier test is another tool that you can use to diagnose issues with the charging system on your motorcycle, ATV, or UTV. In this video, John will show you how to test a 3-phase regulator rectifier from three different makes because they are all different.

What do you need to know about regulator rectifier?

A regulator rectifier test is another tool that you can use to diagnose issues with the charging system on your motorcycle, ATV, or UTV. In this video, John will show you how to test a 3-phase regulator rectifier from three different makes because they are all different.

How does the voltage regulator on a John Deere lawn mower work?

The voltage regulator on a John Deere lawn mower is responsible for ensuring a smooth, consistent charge back to the machine’s battery. Lawn mowers run a 12-volt system to keep the battery charged. The stator on top of the engine must create 14-volts to send back to the battery. As the…

What voltage should my stator be producing?

Measuring the wires coming straight from the stator, you should be seeing over 100V. Then coming from the power pack to the orange wires, it is around 150V. This is read in AC volts, unless your meter has a DVA attachment, then it is in DC

How do you test a stator?

Testing Your Stator So, here is how to test your stator: First, disconnect the stator connector on the left side of the bike. There are three wires. With an AC voltmeter, measure the voltage across each combination of the three wires (pins 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1).

How do you check voltage with a multimeter?

The first test with your multimeter will measure DC voltage , indicated with a solid line and a dashed line above a letter V. Set the dial to 20, which will allow you to accurately measure between 0-20 Volts. Touch the red probe to the positive terminal, and the black probe to the negative terminal.
