Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

[John M.]

How do you determine the amp rating of a Delco-Remy voltage regulator? Is this a secret, or is there an easy way to determine the amp rating? I would think that Delco-Remy would have a chart of some kind that lists, or includes, the amp ratings but I can't find one. Can anyone help me out?????? Did the container that the regulator came in have this information on it?????????

Re: Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

John I often find that kind of info in my Parts Catalogs. There's a online site that has many of them.... http://www.gmpartswiki.com
E.G. Here's a page doing a Search for 1119002 (Note I didn't include the E) that lists by GM #.

http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=24510

It lists the Amp ratings for many. It's a truck book but the VRs were used on many other cars too.

And here's the Corvette page from the search.

There may be a list somewhere using the Delco #"s. I don't recall any of the Delco boxes listing the specs.

Rich,

Thanks for the info, interesting. I am hoping to find the amp rating for a Delco-Remy 12VN 1119003 voltage regulator. The search goes on ,,,,,,,,,,,

John, That server is down often but keep trying. It's down right now for me.

Also check http://www.delcoremy.com/find-a-part
but it doesn't list specs on obsolete items.

I just tried my NapaProlink site and it found these applications for the 1119003 interchange to the Napa ECH VR122 and VR122SB It States 25 AMP
Here their list.... Note Corvette 55-61 but doesn't specify which engine combo/generator.

Re: Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

I don't think voltage regulators have an "amp rating", but alternators certainly do and the amp rating is die stamped on the housing in addition to the part number.

As an example the base '63 Corvette alternator is rated at 37 amps, but a higher amp rating alternator was installed in air conditioned models, and I recall it is rated at 55 amps.

As is the case with starter motors and distributors, GM alternators are built from a family of parts, and in many cases the only difference between a base alternator as in the case above and a higher rated alternator that may have been installed depending on options is the stator coil, and most low amp alternators can be "upgraded" to a higher rating by substituting an different stator coil.

In many cases the same regulator and wiring were used with the higher output rated alternator, but the adequacy of other electrical components and wiring should always be analyzed before increasing alternator output.

Re: Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

Hi Duke,

In general, voltage regulators do have an amp rating. They will only regulate the voltage within limits on the current. But for the Corvette, I think GM used a VR with a high enough current rating to handle even the highest amp alternator. So that way it’s one size fits all for the VR.

Re: Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

Rich,

Thanks for the info, interesting. I am hoping to find the amp rating for a Delco-Remy 12VN 1119003 voltage regulator. The search goes on ,,,,,,,,,,,

Save the Wave ........... JGM

1119003 D 618 is a std. 30Amp regulator used on 12 v equipped cars/trucks from at least 1955

Re: Amp rating Delco-Remy voltage regulators

I'm thinking, but not sure that DC generators require different regulators based on max output current, but not alternators. I didn't know about
multiple Delcotron rotors - maybe a higher amp rotor for really high output alternators like 70+ amps or so. I believe most early 32-42 amp Delcorons can be upgraded to 50+ with a different stator coil.
