[Healeys] another generator question

[lists]

Not quite correct. The voltage regulator doesn't control the output, but the voltage. The output is measured in watts, which in turn are dependent on voltage and current. Voltage is stabilized at about 12.7 volts by the regulator and the current produced depends on the demand of all electrical consumers. So we can say that the generator output is "controlled" (or better determined) by the demand of the consumers. Max output is limited by the generator's ability.

The generator output is controlled by the Voltage Regulator not the  
Generator.
