A challange ....

[stan the man]

Okay okay - you've lost me... :h

All I want is something to stop a voltage surge frying my equipment - so have we got one?

I know the rectifier puts out more than 12 volts, but I only want 12 volts (no more) going to my GPs etc

So again, have we got one?.:dunno:

stick to the RSID's allan(i'm pissed BTW)

 

[Jaws]

Why do you want to make a 12v crowbar circuit when you know you can see 15-16v when you rev it ?? :dunno: Maybe a 17 or 18v crowbar and an LED to warn you have gone overvoltage and it has shut down the DC (popped the fuse)

Yup.. I agree and that is why I posted the 2nd circuit

The crowbar will be forever popping fuses !

so were back to fuses again :yo:

Kin hell

You ask a simple question ?.

Let me rephrase it.

Can anyone tell me where to purchase the item I require (a 12volt regulator) or can anyone make one for sale?. :bang:

Jaws, you seem to know more on this anyone else, so how about it, how much would you charge for a gizmo that does the job I'm asking it to?.:dunno:

Maybe some other biker would also buy them to provided added protection to their valuable kit.

I can def knock one up in a posh box for you Allan... its just the time frame that is the problem mate..

I will get back to you later

 

[Jaws]

Allan, can you tell me what you would like to run off this unit so I can get the correct output tranny.. ( Though it will proly end up being a 3055 or equivelent I might see about using a smaller device and a decent heat sink )

 

[Allan]

I've done it.

Went to Maplins yesterday and found a ciggy plug in thing (?8.00) that varies the voltage output.

Wired my GPS and comms into it and all seems okay - delivers 1amp (I think) so should be okay??? hopefully.

[Jaws]

That will do nicely Allan !
