    • Airworthiness Maintenance (ICA)
Voltage Regulation, IC Sense Referenced
    The Voltage Regulator (VR) controls the Generator’s field to keep the aircraft electrical system voltage at a specific level. This controller has a “Type A” regulator which excites the field of the alternator by providing controlled ground to one side of the field (F), with the other side internally connected to the armature.
Electronic Controlled Generator Build-up / Automatic Field Flashing
    The Generator Build-up function allows the rotating generator to build-up its output from a low residual voltage to the system’s voltage regulation point.

Electronics Field Controller/Switching
    The VR electronics switch turns the field current on/off so fast (several times a second) that the output voltage of the generator stays at the VR set point. When the generator’s output voltage exceeds the VR set point, the switch opens, current flow stops, and the generator’s output decreases.
Current Limit, IC Sensed Controlled
    The Current Limiter (CL) controls the maximum output current the generator can produce. It turn off the field excitation when the output current exceed the CL set point (determined by the generator’s current rating). It allows normal field excitation when the generator output is below the GCU CL set point.
Reverse Current Protection
    The Reverse Current (RC) Protection circuit blocks the battery current from going back to the generator. It allows current to flow only from the generator to the battery and system.
GCU induced Over Voltage (OV) Protected
    The GCU’s design will cause the field current path (between the field and ground) to open if the field control device becomes internally ground shorted. This means that the GCU will not induce Over-Voltage (OV) problem into the system. The GCU does not protect the system against externally induced OV faults.
Trouble-Shooting Lights on Unit
    The on-unit system Trouble-Shooting Lights, TSL, identify how the system is operating and, helps with system testing and troubleshooting. The lights indicate Generator Off/On-line (GO, GREEN), Voltage Regulation (VR, GREEN), Current Limit (CL, RED), and Parallel (EQ, or Load sharing, GREEN).
Other Features:
  • Footprint Compatible to Delco-Remy’s VR
  • Increase Regulator Life
  • Not Temperature Sensitive
  • Prevents Regulator cycling at low RPM
  • Eliminate Regulator Noise
  • More Precise Current Limit
  • Prevents Battery Current Flowing to the Generator
  • GCU will not cause OV fault in the system
Reduce Trouble-Shooting Time

There are a good set of instructions and a trouble shooting guide provided with this unit. However there is a discrepancy between the description on this web site and the instructions that require a verification of positive generator output (a negative requires field flashing which this description says is automatic). The mounting holes and terminal attachments all lined up well with the previous old style voltage regulator installed on a 1956 Cessna 172. Replacement was very easy.

Easy installation. Better design than vibrator type GCU.
