unregulated charging system


HVACRAT

Recommended Posts

I have a 7018, k361(bad head), repowering with a k341. The tractor has no voltage regulator. by looking at the k341 engine manual they talk about a unregulated charging system. How does this work? I am thinking i will place the k361 stator and flywheel on the k341 and not have to modifiy the wiring. The k361 has about a 3/4 circumference stator and 3/4 of circumference magnet coverage on the flywheel. Any input?

Unregulated systems are generally 1-1/2 to 3 amps charging just to maintain the battery and has no regulator. Headlights are run by a separate circuit and brightness is controlled by RPM. That current is not enough to cook out a battery, and conversely will not keep up the charge when you have headlights, electric lifts and so on.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
