Determining Which Hookup Configuration to Use
STOP!
DO NOT use the instruction manual that came with your
voltage regulator when using the SE350 Static Exciter Module! Use
this manual instead! It contains the most up to date information
available regarding your product!
The SE350 Static Exciter Module is capable of being connected several different ways to
accommodate a wide variety of generator exciter configurations. It is necessary to choose the
proper mode of operation for your generator in order to get the best regulation and fastest
response time possible.
To determine the proper connection for your generator you need to know any two of the
following 3 specifications from the rating plate of your generator:
1: Exciter Field Voltage (in DC Volts)
[Generally given in full load Voltage on nameplates]
2: Exciter Field Resistance (in Ohms)
[See Note Below]
3: Exciter Field Amperage (in DC Amps)
[Generally given in full load Amps on nameplates]
Using the specifications obtained from your generator exciter, select a
Connection (A, B, C, or D) from the chart or graph below:
•
Exciter field resistance is more than 4.2 ohms and exciter full load voltage is rated at 63vdc or
less.
Use connection
A
(See Page 6)
•
Exciter field resistance is more than 2.1 ohms, but less than 4.2 ohms and exciter full load
voltage is rated at 63vdc or less.
Use connection
B
(See Page 7)
•
Exciter field resistance is more than 2.1 ohms and exciter full load voltage is rated at 32vdc or
less.
Use connection
C
(See Page 8)
•
Exciter field resistance is more than 1.2 ohms, but less than 2.1 and exciter full load voltage
is rated at 32vdc or less.
Use connection
D
