Van’s RV-12 Charging System Refresh: B&C Voltage Regulator
We put the B&C AVC-1 voltage regulator to the test and found that it outperforms the unit supplied in the RV-12 kit. The post Van’s RV-12 Charging System Refresh: B&C Voltage Regulator appeared first on AvBrief.com.
A charging-system upgrade for Rotax-powered Van’s RV-12 kits has been highlighted by AvBrief, focusing on the AVC-1 solid-state voltage regulator from B&C Specialty Products of Wichita, Kansas.
The feature notes that the stock Rotax 912 charging setup is not particularly strong, underscoring the value of a reliable, well-performing regulator for these aircraft. B&C’s AVC-1 is presented as a worthy aftermarket option for RV-12s and other Legacy Vans configurations.
According to AvBrief’s report, test results from an article in The Experimental Aviator indicate that the B&C AVC-1 outperforms the regulator included with the legacy RV-12 kit.
The piece identifies Wichita-based B&C Specialty Products as a leading supplier in aftermarket charging-system components, with the AVC-1 serving as a tested upgrade for older RV-12 builds.
No specific dates, locations, injuries, aircraft details beyond the general RV-12 and Rotax 912, or outcomes beyond the stated performance comparison are provided in the material.
