ABOUT
INTRODUCTION
The Lucas Compensated Voltage Control Regulator was introduced and has been developed as a means of providing control of the generator so that its output is automatically adjusted to suit the state of charge of the battery. It also automatically varies the generator output according to the load or current which it is desired to draw from the battery, whatever its state of charge; it also protects the generator from overloading when the load applied to the circuit would tend to force the generator to give a greater output than it is in fact designed to give. A correctly adjusted regulator will thus enable the generator to put a greater charge into the battery when the battery is in a low state and will automatically taper off the charge as the battery becomes fully charged. If a heavy load is put on the battery (such as when the vehicle is running with headlamps on), the generator will endeavour to produce sufficient current to meet this load, so that whether the battery is in a low state of charge or not it will actually "float" in the charging system. The regulator also provides a boost charge when the equipment is cold, so that the heavy current withdrawn from the battery by the starting motor is rapidly replaced. Present day equipment embodies, in the majority of cases, the LUCAS single contact regulator, but as the double contact unit finds some application on commercial vehicles, a full description is given in this publication. Similarly, as third brush generator regulation is still used to a limited degree, some notes on this method of control have been included. In the explanation of the working of the Lucas Compensated Voltage Control system given in the following pages, certain abstruse technical considerations have been deliberately omitted, but these factors do, of course, have to be fully considered by Lucas Engineers when designing the equipment. It should be emphasised also that our recommendations in regard to regulator open circuit voltage settings should always be strictly adhered to if satisfactory working of the equipment is to be obtained.
