Product Description
14V Alternator Controller Unit (ACU), Voltage Regulator For Type A 14V Alternator Systems
The R1510N is a 14Vdc solid state Alternator Controller (Voltage Regulator) designed for use with 12Vdc aircraft alternators with the type “A” configuration. It provides controlled grounding for an alternator that has one side of its field connected to an OV protected power source. This unit provides Voltage Regulation and Field induction protection. It is not a throw away unit like the VSF7203 that it replaces. It generates very little heat compared to the Prestolite and Electrosystems/Electrodelta VSF series. Its footprint and connector are compatible with the VSF series.For any system that uses the VSF7203 without OV protection relay (like in the Grumman AA1, AA1A and others, the R15V0N is a must have. It will prevent costly damaged to the aircraft avionics and electrical systems caused by over voltage fault. The V1510A OV Relay will also provide OV protection for a system with the R1510N or VSF7203.

Product Features:
Voltage Regulation, IC sense referenced
Using the voltage sensed from the OV Relay output, the Voltage Regulator keeps the bus voltage constant by controlling the alternator’s field current: increasing it when the system load increases and decreasing it when the load drops. The Regulator controls the field by grounding or opening the one side of the field connected to pin F. The R1510N works in the one alternator (single en-gine) application as well as in the dual alternator (single or dual engine application. It is the best re-placement for the Prestolite VSF7203 type Voltage Regulator.
Other Features:
- Field Controller Generates Low Heat
- Externally Adjustable
- Light Weight and Repairable
- Increase Regulator Life
- Not temperature sensitive
- Increased Ease of Ownership
- Reduced Long-term ownership cost
