Voltage regulator VAZ - safety on the road

The voltage regulator VAZ in the current market is represented by several models. 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 go down. At the same time, if the terminals are oxidized, or the clamps are loosened, resistance in the circle will increase. In this case, it may be necessary to check the voltage regulator.

Sometimes in order to adjust it, you need to carefully wipe the contact, after twisting the terminals on the terminals and loosening the clamps. After a certain time, it will not be superfluous to hide the voltage regulator with a thin layer of technical petroleum jelly. This will help prevent oxidation. Nevertheless, if the battery is not used for a long time, it is best to store it in sub-zero temperatures. In this case, its vacuum will be minimal. In the event that during storage, the density of the electrolyte is greatly reduced, the car voltage regulator is required to be recharged.

During the operation of such a battery, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the external surface and the integrity of the mastic. If at least one wire is detached from the brush, which is equipped with the generator, then in order to connect it, it is necessary to make a special hole in the end, whose diameter will exceed the diameter of the wire by at least 0.3 millimeters. After this, it is worth pouring the notch with glue, for example, BF-2, which is mixed with graphite crumb. Having hardened, the glue can firmly fix the wire and the brush.

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

In any case, even for novice motorists, the connection diagram of the regulator of difficulties should not cause. First of all it is worth considering that for the load it is best to use the rotor winding of the generator of the regular. In the extreme case, you can choose a conventional incandescent bulb, but in this case you can cross out the circuit amperemeter.

The technique by which the voltage regulator-voltage regulator is tuned is not that complicated, but often it is necessary to contact the car repair shop. In the event that a "floating" defect was noticed during the operation of the generator, experts recommend problem areas to be soldered. But at the same time it is forbidden to use acid fluxes, because they conduct electricity well. Excellent connection is obtained with the help of completely ordinary rosin.
