DATA FOR ROLLS-ROYCE DYNAMO REGULATOR.

Dynamo.
Type            12, volt, 4 - pole, shunt wound.
            Negative brush earthed.

Field Winding.        Resistance 6.2 ohms at 18°C.
            Max. field current = 16 V / 6.2 Ω
            = 2.58 amperes at 18°C.

Open circuit volts    13.0 volts at 660 r.p.m.
at 70°C.            16.0 " 760 r.p.m.

Max. current at     22.0 amperes at 1380 r.p.m.
13.0 volts 70°C.

Regulator.
This should be such as to keep the O.C. voltage measured on the regulator terminals, at 16.0 volts at all speeds between 760 r.p.m. (about) and 6,000 r.p.m.

In a similar manner the current at 13.5 volts on the regulator terminals to be maintained at about 19 amps, and at all speeds between 1,380 r.p.m. and 6,000 r.p.m.
