A few weeks ago I scratch built a new voltage regulator to replace the Ducati.
My design goals were;
- Low cost ?experimental? replacement
- Repairable
- All components are off the shelf (no custom extrusions, CNC, or molded parts)
- A regulator with known ratings, all components have data sheets.
- Built with common builders tools
- Increased heat sink area
- Eliminate Faston connections for the power leads
- Maintain the Ducati mounting bolt hole spacing
- Optional cooling fan
This is what I came up with;
Overview
Side by side
Optional cooling fan
The parts cost about $60, not including the PCB.
I?ve only got a few hours on it, so I wouldn?t consider it a proven design. If you have an interest in building an experimental replacement regulator, all the details can be found in this pdf file;
