ABSTRACT:
A tester for a solid state voltage regulator includes two parallel branches available for interconnection to the two output contacts of the voltage regulator. The two branches both interconnect to the high voltage side of a battery. One of the branches includes a resistor in parallel combination with an indicator bulb. One of the branches includes a normally open switch. For use with automobile alternators having a built-in regulator, the tester can be connected directly to the regulator and test both the regulator and the alternator. When the regulator is independent of the alternator, it can be tested by itself by using actual rotor current available from an alternator used in conjunction with the tester. The on/off condition of the indicator bulb, when the switch and various contact terminals are interconnected, provides an indication of the effective operation of the regulator. A volt meter can be included integrally with the tester to provide output readings of the regulator.
