The Voltage Regulator is used in Lincoln Continental vehicles to regulate the output of the alternator by keeping the voltage level at the battery side between 13.5 and 14.5 volts. This is done by constantly checking on battery voltage and systems demand, then regulate the field current to the alternator rotor. When the battery needs to be charged, the regulator adds field current while, when the battery is fully charged, the regulator reduces the current to avoid overcharging. Former Lincoln Continentals employed mechanical, externally mounted voltage regulators based on coils and contact points but they wore and failed. These were replaced at later times by electronic, solid state voltage regulators which are much more efficient than the mechanical types switching on and off at an approximate rate of 7000 times per second as opposed to 200 times for the latter. Contemporary cars consequently featured internal voltage and alternator controls whilst the task is nowadays frequently assigned to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which can adjust output as per numerous parameters.
