Conversion From Older Shunt-Wound Voltage
Regulation to Modern Solid-State Voltage Regulation
It is possible to use the XR5B-400 Universal Voltage regulator with older Shunt-Wound
exciters that originally had manual or mechanical voltage regulators by converting the
wiring as in the diagrams below. If the generator will not build up after conversion, try
switching your F+ and F- leads at the regulator and try starting up again.
NOTE:
Armature brushes
MUST BE ISOLATED
from the field leads for
proper operation!
