Simple and e ective solid-state replaeement for auto

voltage regulator can be used with altemator in almost
any negative-ground system. Circuit acts as switch
supplying either full or no voltage to eld winding of
altemator. When battery is below 13 V, zenel D1 does not
conduct, Q1 is o , Q2 is on, and full battery voltage is
applied to alternator eld so it puts out full voltage to
battery forcharging. When battery reaches 13.6 V, Q1 tums
on, Q2 tums o , altemator output is reduced to zero, and
battery gets no charging current. Corcuit can also be used
with wind-drivent alternator systems.-P.S.Smith, $22 for
