Abstract
A free-wheeling diode, a control circuit portion and a power circuit portion which selectively include active semiconductor elements and passive electrical circuit elements, such as diodes and resistors, are all included in a housing having a metallic base, the housing having two lead-through pins sealed therethrough in insulated relation, so that the housing can be readily attached to the generator housing structure, particularly to the brush assembly thereof, and the lead-through pins selectively directly connected to a brush connected to the exciter field of the generator and another connected to the positive output terminal of the generator, thus facilitating overall construction and assembly of the voltage regulator as well as assembly of the voltage regulator with and to the generator.
