The regulator-rectifier plays a huge role in keeping a motorcycle’s electrical system running. By converting the engine’s alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), it powers the onboard ...

Many voltage regulators are of the fixed output variety and include the voltage divider internal to the regulator. There are definite advantages to this approach, which allows active voltage trimming ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...
