2.4
A frequency measuring circuit continually
monitors the shaft speed of the generator and
provides under-speed protection of the excitation
system by reducing the generator output voltage
proportionally with speed below a pre-settable
threshold. A further enhancement of this feature
is an adjustable VOLT per Hertz slope to improve
engine recovery time on turbo charged engines.
Soft start circuitry is included to provide a smooth
controlled build up of generator output voltage.
2.5
Uncontrolled excitation is limited to a safe period
by internal shutdown of the AVR output device.
This condition remains latched until the generator
has stopped.
2.6
Provision is made for the connection of a remote
voltage trimmer, allowing the user fine control of
the gene
rator’s output.
2.7
An
analogue
input
is
provided
allowing
connection to a controller or other external
devices with compatible output.
2.8
The AVR has the facility for droop CT connection,
to allow parallel running with other similarly
equipped generators.
NOTE :
(1) Derate linearly from 3.7A at 50
˚C to 2.7A at 70 ˚C.
(2) The stated voltage regulation may not be
maintained in the presence of certain transmitted
radio signals. Any change in regulation will fall
within the limits in Criteria B of S.EN.61000-6-2 :
2001.
(3) After 10 minutes.
(4) Applies to Mod status E onwards. Generator
de-rate may apply. Check with factory. Factory set,
semi-sealed, jumper selectable.
(5) Any device connected to the analogue input must
be fully looting (galvanically isolated from ground),
with an insulation strength of 500 Vac.
(6) Non condensing.
