240V Hookup Connection
240V Hookup Connection
is a Half-Wave rectified configuration, which allows a
continuous output of
63VDC @ 4A
with an input voltage of 240VAC.
This connection is common on most American style brushless generators built since the
1970s. Most generators using this connection will have a field resistance of 18-22Ω.
Note that the maximum input voltage to the XC4 Automatic Voltage regulator is
240VAC!
DO NOT input 277VAC into the XC4!
Severe damage to the unit will result!
For use on 480V systems, either connect the regulator to the winding center taps T7
and T9 (
See Page 6
) or use a
480-240V step-down transformer rated at 500VA.
Connecting the input of the XC4 to 2 different legs of the generator as shown in the
diagram below will result in greater regulation accuracy than when connecting line-
neutral.
XC4 Commercial Series
Automatic Voltage Regulator
NOTE:
If the generator is to be
operated below 50/60 Hz, a
disconnect
or switch should be installed
in series with the incoming
power to
terminals AC1 and AC2 on
the XC4.
NEVER install a switch or
breaker on the DC or
Exciter side of the voltage
regulator!
Only install a switch or
disconnect on the AC Side
of the regulator!
