Default Voltage Regulator Test?

Is there any way to bench test a voltage regulator?

I assume you're referring to a voltage regulator for a starter/generator.

Yes, it would be for a starter generator. Unless I missed it, I don’t see anything about testing in your links, just adjusting.

Ive never seen a bench test procedure for one. However, you could put it in a tractor with a know to be good harness and SG and follow the normal test routine if need be.

You certainly could put it on the bench and check connections, test continuity, check contact closure etc. A real bench test would require a generator or something to simulate the generator.

A local starter/alternator shop around here can test a generator and it's regulator using a test jig and an electric motor turning the generator, I've seen them do it.

It is probably a home brew rig, but I can't imagine this little shop is the only one with the capability.

Thanks for the replies. It’s not a big deal, I have a VR from a parts tractor that I wanted to test. I guess I’ll find out if it’s any good the next time I need to replace one.

This guy does a bench test.

In general, the field contact is normally closed and grounded until the gen terminal has over 14.5 volts, at which point it opens.

The bat to gen contact is normally open until about 9 or more volts is present on the gen terminal, at which point that contact closes.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
