    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Hey Chief Day, you might want to start a new thread with your issues as this thread has a lot in it that way you will get clear questions and answers, for your radio static it is common to have a little to much AC in the DC to cause this with a MultiMeter on AC volts see what is at the 12v alt...

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Not Arduino but yes all the new voltage regulators use solid state electronics to control things ....also adds to the cost of the things. And for why not just tap the batteries......see original HMMWV all 28v...then they got an electronic transmission (14v) taped rear battery and found that it...

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Yes LBCD ....N2003 Load Battery Control Device........the Box with 4 threaded terminals on top that wires between batteries and vehicle loads. I forget sometimes to fully label when using abbreviations.

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Yes the field coil runs on 28v so the regulator just powers that, for the 14 they just cut the output to convert down the 14v for the other side. As to price well it is a military specific part and that tends to add cost. And while you could open the thing and see how she runs if you get anyone...

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    no the voltage would be close as the AC terminal is 1/2 system voltage (on 28V base that's 14V) but the output is an AC voltage not a DC voltage like the 12v terminal is so the LBCD might miss read it.

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    it can happen if he didn't run a wire to the AC line of the LBCD, on the original setup the AC terminal of the ALT was sent to the LBCD and the LBCD would send out the signal to turn On/Off dash warning light. the LBCD was built by C.E.Niehoff to work together with the original Alts. the dash...

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    the 14V that is on the Regulators is limited to 50 amps Or should be limited basically it can give more but then you run the risk of overheating the thing). the 14v studs on the Alts them selves outputs are based on 28v load and are specific to each unit, some give more some give less.
