Horn -PIAGGIO 6V AC- Vespa Wideframe V1-V15, V30-V33, VM, VN, VNA1T- VNA2T - black
Part no.:

Description
Original Vespa horn (ratchet) from the Vespa Vintage program.
AI-translation
Vespa has parts rebuilt for its own Vintage series according to the original specification.
The ratchets, which are powered by alternating current (AC), get their name from the throaty squawking duck caller sound. Only the DC horn models from the 1980's onwards have a 'standardised' acoustic signal.
The ratchet offered here was used in the handlebars models of the years of manufacture up to 1952.
It differs from the later version, which is visually very similar, by an adjusting screw.
AC/DC?
AC stands for alternating current = alternating voltage = ratchet
DC stands for direct current = direct voltage = horn
ratchet
Many old vehicles without battery use alternating voltage as on-board power supply. Only so-called buzzers can be connected to it. These are recognizable by a tone pitch which increases and decreases with engine speed.
Horns
Due to the non-constant frequency, buzzers have not been in conformity with the registration of German vehicles since approx. 1980. At this time, most vehicles were equipped with a battery and a DC on-board power supply. Here the real horns are used, recognizable by a constantly constant pitch, independent of the engine speed.
Exceptions
There are some exceptions where a DC horn was used, despite the AC on-board power supply. Piaggio used so-called horn rectifiers from 1984 onwards, with the introduction of the Lusso series. Here, a special bridge rectifier with downstream capacitors, which is only responsible for the horn, converts the AC on-board power supply for the horn into DC. This rectifier can also be retrofitted to all vehicles with a 12V AC on-board power supply if, for example, the TÜV does not accept a ratchet.
