Petar This video presentation was excellent. It helped that you showed the initial positions of all three contacts. That was very important before presenting how the voltage feedback loop (to the field winding) uses two relays in series. You made it clear that the charger works by modulating the voltage to the field winding. That, in turn, makes it clear how these regulators protect the battery from over-voltage while simultaneously protecting the generator from over-current. You further showed how it protects the battery from reverse current discharge by using a simple relay. Let me join in with all of the other commenters who have said Thank You and extend my sincere appreciation.
Great video explaining the function of the voltage regulator. Easiest explanation to understand of the videos I've seen on you tube. Very well done! You have a new subscriber. Hope your channel grows and gets the recognition it deserves. Thanks for your efforts.
Great video! I am planning to fix up an older diesel generator. It is 13.2kw with both 1 and 3 phase. Do I need a special AVR? I will also need a new control was thinking a deep sea DSE7320
Great explanation Petar. The internal wiring diagram is a big help in understanding the process. It’s not in the automotive industry, but are you familiar with a Dynamotor (voltage converter)? I’ve been looking for an explanation and internal wiring diagram as to how that works. Not sure if it’s in your field of expertise, but worth a shot to ask you. Thanks in advance.
I hadn't heard of a dynamotor before so I looked it up. Very interesting device. It appears to be a DC motor with an AC alternator wound on a single armature. It looks like quite an old technology, and I suggest that there are many more modern converters available now which can change DC to AC using electronics, and probably more efficiently. A simple inverter will supply 240V AC (or 110V AC depending on where you live) to operate all sorts of electrical and electronic devices. To understand the dynamotor operation, think of a DC motor with an alternator attached to the output shaft. I hope this helps.
A Dynamotor was used many years ago , on small engines (petrol). It had 2 field coils. When energised, the unit operated as a starter motor, and when the engine was running, it acted as a dynamo.The dynamotor you describe which has a dc input/ac out, is normally called a rotary transformer, and was commonly used in military equipment.@@PetarMakTeacher
I assume D connection in your drawing is A on my regulator.. The rest is good info. The more i watch this over and over the more i understand it all. But then question start adding up. What opens the contacts, heat? How does it know when voltage and current have been reached. It all must work off heats of contacts or magnetic field's, which i guess is the same in some way.

Peter, Really well done. Crisp and straight forward explanation.
That is the Lucas generator and regulator that Ford tractors used from 1964 to the mid 70's. They worked very well 😇🙏
Thanks for making time to explain this so Magnificently well.
best explanation on TH-cam, thank you kind Sir
Awesome explanation!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, I know for a fact that this has helped out so many people.
Incredibly great video. Very well done. Good description.
Thankyou. I haven't worked on these old systems for many years and as an elderly person ,I appreciate a refresher course.
This was one of the best explanations I have seen
That’s awesome and the best explanation for people that have a basic understanding of electrical
this is the video ive been looking for, good job mate, easy understood. .. cheers from dallas texas usa
Outstanding job Petar! Thank you very much.

Thank you. Simple and effective.
Very good.Best explanation I’ve seen.Thank you.
Thank you for the video.
Now I'm ready to go and tune my regulator because I know the rules of its work 👍
Bloody marvellous mate thank you. With all the Lucas manuals and I think it works like this or that you have made it clear . Thanks again.
Thanks for that clear explanation.
Really clear 👌,
great video

Please d scribe how to "polarized" the generator fields if they loose mag. Thanks
Flash them with a car battery, by connecting negative to usually the frame) an touch the posative to the field connection.
