CR724

Alternator regulator for 14V systems

Application & Technical Summary

CF190

CR724 regulates the output voltage of a 14 V alternator to a constant value

The regulator continuously senses the alternator’s output voltage, rpm, temperature, excitation current. It adjusts the excitation current to keep the output voltage on a constant level.
