A Study on The Slidacs Type Automatic Voltage Regulator Having The Improved Output Characteristics

In this study, we have designed and fabricated the slidacs type automatic voltage regulator(AVR) that is able to control the output voltage continuously according to road variation. Especially, the frictions between the surface of contact of the slidacs coils and the output wire moving rod are reduced by transforming the mechanical configuration of surface of contact of slidacs from the conventional sliding one into the proposed rotary one composed of cylindrical bearing. Thus, the slidacs type AVR using cylindrical bearing proposed in this study has less noise than conventional one owing to the reduction of frictions, and its breakdown ratio caused by the abrasion of contact materials is reduced. Furthermore, ...
