PHONE 618/654-2341 FAK 618/664-2381 Power forthe excler field and regulator culty is dorived from the generator output or auxdiary Winding. The operable power input range is 90 0 132 Vac. For sensing, single-phase voltage from the ‘generator is connected between Et and 4. Note thal terminal 4 is common to both power and sensing FREQUENCY COMPENSATION “The trequency compensation characteristic is to improve system load pickup performance by restraining voltage recovery unti frequency has ‘also stared to recover. “The regulator is preset al the factory for 45 Hz ‘comer frequency’ for 50 Hz system. For 60 Hz system, a 55 Hz “corner frequency” is achieved by disconnecting the edernal Hz leads. Be sure to insulate the disconnection Frequency Compensation Curves OVEREXCITATION SHUTDOWN. It the exciter field voltage exceeds 100 #5 Vée, the regulator automatically removes the field current after a time delay. The time delay is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the detected avervottage condition up to the 135 45 ‘de point. Beyond 135 45 Ve, the feld votage {is removed within 0.2 seconds, ‘After shutdown, reset the regulator by ‘decteasing voltage below 6 Vac either by stopping the prime mover or Interupting the regulator input witha reset switch for 2 seconds Le, LT Typical Time Delay Characteristic CurvesVOLTAGE ADJUST RHEOSTAT (VAR) .

FIELD FLASHING When the reguator is operated with the Generator for the first time, the polarity of Tesidual magnetism may not correct or the magnitude not enough. If the generstor does rot build-up after startup, shut down the prime ‘mover and proceed withthe folowing steps: a. Wirth the prime mover at rest, apply a de Source (not grounded) of not more than 12V, to terminals F+(postive) and F- (negative) in series with @ iting resistor of 35 ons, b. Allow approximately 3. seconds. before removing the de source. ©. Start prime mover and measure vottage at tegulater leads 3 and 4. If votage is ‘greater than 6 vols, voltage build-up should be successful. Repeat field flashing procedure if less than 6 V residual is measured. d. If repeating steps 1 and 2 does not resut in generator voltage buld-up, replace the voltage regulator. ase NoTes Ev H2 AEA ok 2 Fag Rowe Wan Fae A age BO woo, b AN stn, HF =B/Pqa TET eh VR63- 4A gr z]F=B7Fa]4 TE [VAR] VaR VR63—4A wey Interconnection Diagram, 208/240 V Nominal Interconnection Dagan, 120V Generator with Autry Winding O Hic INTERRUPT 240 Vac, 60 HZ NOTE: AA two 120 vou eues LESS ‘aw Too" warts Operational Test
