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-R Automatic Voltage regulator is
240VAC!
DO NOT input 277VAC into the XC4-R!
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-R 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-R 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-R.
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!
