*  Over Excitation Current Limiting (O/C) 

When the excitation current is greater than or exceeds 5A the AVR will reduce the excitation output to limit the 
excitation current. At this time the generator output voltage will be in a very unable state (the greater the load the 
lower the voltage). Over current protection will not interrupt the excitation field output. 

 
*  LAM (Load Acceptance Module) Outline 

When  the  generator  experiences  momentary  increases  in  load  (more  40%  of  generator  capacity)  voltage  and 
engine speed will decrease. The process of recovering voltage and engine speed will produce a situation where 
output  voltage  and  engine  speed  fluctuates.  In  order  to  reduce  the  level  of  volatility,  after  a  load  is  added  the 
engine speed will slow, lowering the total power output of the generator and delaying recovery. 
 
The low frequency knee point setting should be below a nominal setting for 2 Hz to cause the output voltage and 
engine speed to have a smooth recovery. 
 

The LAM function allows choice of reduction settings of 13% and 25%. If the generator has a fluid drive (hydro) it 
is recommended not to use the LAM function.
