Hi,
I have a dynamo (DC generator) that is connected to an old regulator which are used to charge a 24V 100A lead acid battery.
I have no experience at working with dynamos. I need to replace the old electromechanical regulator with a new electronic one. From several readings on the internet I understood that (and please correct if I am wrong) the dynamo has 3 connections:
1. "D" which is the output voltage/current of the dynamo.
2. "F" which is the input field current.
3. Ground.
The "F" connection should be used by the regulator to increase/decrease the field current which then increases/decreases the output at the "D" connection and keep the dynamo output voltage suitable to charge the battery and operate the system safely. Let's say this output should be around 26V.
Can you suggest a modern electronic regulator circuit to do this job? are there any ICs that can do this regulation?
P.S. I am not sure if this is the most suitable forum section to post on. Feel free to move it where I can get the most help!
