AVR-40 ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
DATAKOM AVR-40 voltage regulator is an
electronic device which lets the alternator to
produce a fixed output voltage.
The device has open chassis, resin molded
design and is intended to be mounted in the
alternator’s terminal box. The unit does not
include moving parts; therefore it is able to
operate in highly vibrating environments.
The device measures phase to neutral or phase
to phase voltage of the alternator and adjusts
the DC voltage applied to the excitation winding
until reaching the desired voltage.
The unit offers low-frequency protection
feature. A frequency measuring circuit
continually monitors the generator output and
provides low-frequency protection for the FEATURES
excitation system, by reducing the output
voltage proportionally with frequency below a Half-Wave thyristor output
manually adjustable threshold. The nominal Designed for highly vibrating environment
frequency can easily be changed to 50 or 60 Hz
