Load regulator: essential on the old car models without a license

The charge regulator is an essential part on old car models without a license equipped with engines Lombardini. It has the role of controlling and stabilizing the voltage produced by the load coil in order to avoid overvoltages or under-Loads that can damage the battery and electrical components.

Operation of the charge controller

On these old engines, the coil generates electric current proportional to the engine speed. The controller intervenes to smooth the voltage and provide a current suitable for the battery and the electrical circuit. Without him, the battery could overload or discharge quickly, causing repetitive failures and ignition failures.

Main roles

• Limit the maximum voltage sent to the battery.
• Avoid overvoltages that can damage wiring and accessories.
• Provide constant and progressive charging of the battery.
• Protect sensitive electrical components (headlights, dashboard, ignition).
• Maintain the stability of the power even during engine speed variations.

Importance on an engine Lombardini

Load systems for old engines Lombardini Rely on the association Coil + Regulator. If the controller is defective, the voltage becomes unstable and often causes motor cuts, a battery that "grid" or lighting failures. Its replacement is crucial in case of failure.

Symptoms of a faulty load controller

Recognize signs of wear or fault warns other damage:

Electrical signs

• Battery that empties quickly or overload.
• Battery indicator that remains on permanently.
• Headlights and rear lights that flash or weaken motor running.
• Electrical accessories that cut intermittently.
• Abnormal voltage measurement in the multimeter (too low or too high).

Mechanical and visual signs

• Hot regulator housing with touch or having a burn odor.
• Traces of blackening or melted components.
• Oxidized connectors or damaged wiring.
• Irregular operation of the engine, sudden cuts.

Maintenance and control of the regulator

Preventive maintenance consists of testing the load voltage regularly and visually inspect the controller. A control of the load coil must also be carried out because a defective coil can damage the regulator.

Diagnostic steps

• Measure the motor output voltage running (often between 13.5 and 14.5 V).
• Check the continuity of cables and the absence of oxidation on the connectors.
• Visually check the condition of the housing and search for traces of overheating.
• Test the load coil to make sure it delivers a correct current.
• Clean and tighten connections before any replacement.

REPLACING THE CHARGE CONTROL

If the controller is out of service, it must be replaced immediately to avoid damaging the battery. A new regulator guarantees a stable voltage and extends the life of the other components of the electrical system.

Precautions when editing

• Disconnect the battery before any intervention.
• Check the regulator compatibility with the engine Lombardini.
• Clean the connectors and replace damaged cables.
• Test the voltage after mounting to confirm the correct operation.
• Replace the load coil if it has a fault.

Catalog Pro VSP : Load regulators for engines Lombardini

Pro VSP proposes charge regulators Compatible with old engines Lombardini. Each product is tested to ensure efficient control and optimum battery protection and electrical circuit.

Complementary parts recommended

It is strongly recommended to control or replace the charge coil at the same time as the regulator. This duo ensures optimal recharge and avoids variations in dangerous voltage.

Budget & Costs to be expected

The price of a charge controller depends on its capacity, its format and the engine concerned. Add the cost of the load coil if it must be changed, as well as the hand-if you entrust the pose to a professional.

Typical expenses

• New load controller.
• Associated charging coil if necessary.
• Replacement connectors or wiring.
• Hand-for assembly.
• Tension test after installation.

Tips for extending the life of your regulator

• Regularly check the charging voltage.
• Clean the connectors to prevent oxidation.
• Check the condition of the load coil to avoid overvoltages.
• Do not overload the circuit with unplanned accessories.
• Immediately replace the controller in the event of a detected overvoltage.
