4.6 

Excitation (EXC) Adjustment 

This  adjustment  is  set  and  sealed  in  the  works  and 
should  not  be  tampered  with.  An  over  excitation 
condition is indicated by the illumination of the red LED 
which  also  indicates  under-speed  running  and 
over-volt. 
 
The  generator  must  be  stopped  to  reset  an 
over-excitation trip. 
 

4.7 

DIP Adjustment 

4.7.1  This feature is mostly used when the generator is 

coupled  to  turbo  charged  engines  with  limited 
block  load  acceptance.  The  feature  works  by 
increasing the V/Hz slope to give greater voltage 
roll off in proportion to speed. 

 
4.7.2  With  the  DIP  control  fully  anti-clockwise,  the 

generator voltage will follow the normal V/Hz line 
as  the  speed  falls  below  nominal.  Turning  the 
DIP  control  clockwise  provides  greater  voltage 
roll off aiding engine recovery. 

 

4.8 

RMS Voltage Adjustment 

When  the  generator  is  operating  with  a  relatively  low 
power  factor  load,  or  other  reasons  change  the  output 
power  waveform  when  adding  load,  this  will  then  cause 
the AVR sensing the deviated voltage. 
 
The  RMS  control  on  the  AVR  can  reduce  the  voltage 
variations caused by the output waveform changes. This 
improves voltage regulation. 

 
4.9 

DWELL 

This  feature  is  mostly  used  when  the  generator  is 
coupled  to  turbo  charged  engines  with  limited  block 
load  acceptance.  The  feature  works  by  introducing  a 
delay  between  speed  recovery  and  voltage  recovery 
and allows a greater DIP setting without instability. 

With  the  DWELL  control  fully  anti-clockwise,  the 
generator voltage will follow the V/Hz line. Turning the 
DWELL  control  clockwise  increase  the  delay  time 
between speed recovery and voltage recovery. 

 
4.10  Current Limit (I LIMIT) Adjustment 

This feature is mostly used to limit short circuit current or 
to  provide  a  current  limit  on  motor  starting.  To  use  this 
feature, current limit CT’s of the correct ratio need to be 
connected  to  the  AVR  S1,  S2  terminals.  There  is  an 
internal  time  limit  of  10  seconds.  Consult  the  factory 
before using this feature. 
 

4.11  Over Voltage (OVER V) Adjustment 

This adjustment is set and sealed in the works and should 
not  be  tampered  with.  An  over  voltage  condition  is 
indicated  by  the  illumination  of  the  red  LED  which  also 
indicates  under-speed  running  and  over-excitation.  The 
generator must be stopped to reset an over-voltage trip. 

 
4.12  RAMP 

The AVR includes a soft start or voltage ramp-up circuit 
to  control  the  rate  of  voltage  build  up,  when  the 
generator  runs  up  to  speed.  This  is  normally  pre-set 
and  sealed  to  give  a  voltage  ramp-up  time  of 
approximately  3  seconds.  If  required,  this  can  be 
adjusted between the limits defined in the specification. 
 

WARNING 

Please  make  sure  you  have  read  and  understand 
the  contents  of  the  instruction  manual  prior  to 
installation.  Incorrect  wiring  connection  may 
result  in  irreversible  damage  to  the  product  and 
other equipments.

ATTENTION 

1.  Leave  sufficient  space  for  the  high  output  resistor  to 

dissipate heat. Install the AVR with an up right position 
where the high output resistor is above heat sink. 

2.  AVR  can  be  mounted  directly  on  the  engine, 

genset,  switchgear,  control  panel,  or  any  position 
that  will  not  affects  operation.  For  dimension 
reference, please see Figure 1. 

3.  All  voltage  readings  are  to  be  taken  with  an 

average-reading voltmeter Meggers and high-potential 
test  equipment  must  not  be  used.  Use  of  such 
equipment could damage the AVR. 

4.  Improper  setting of  under-frequency  protection  could 

cause the output voltage of the unit to drop or become 
unstable  under  with  changes  in  load.  Avoid  making 
any changes to the U/F setting unless necessary. 

5. Set  the  O/E  potemtiometer  at  max.  position  when 

paralleling.
