Hi, I didn’t know what forum to ask this question and this one seems to have very knowledgeable people so I came here lol.
How do I make an alternator put out 56v in an easy way? Let me start by saying I’m starting with a 48v alternator that was also shipped in a 56v version. Leece Neville 4417jb is the 48v and 4420jb is the 56v. The manufacturer says they are the same and can be interconverted by a regulator swap. Which would be simple, if they weren’t discontinued.
Could I use my regulator with some resistor or something? Maybe the 14v version regulator modified to sense 1/4 of the inputs therefore supplying 56v while only “seeing” 14v?
My goal is to charge a 48v battery bank and I obviously would have a hard time doing that on 48v. It’s a 95 amp alternator so boosting 5kw would probably smoke any boost converter I could come up with.
Thank you so much for your help.
Also, I’ve looked into aftermarket regulators but have come up short unfortunately.
