2.3 Hardware
Structure:
The device is contained into a plastic casing (ABS) with aluminum base, and it is fixed on a
cooling dissipater. The connection terminals are integrated on the top of the circuit boards.

Power electronics:
The power part is fitted with IGBT semiconductors.
The average value of the output voltage is always positive. A fuse protects the output against
short-circuits.

Control elements:
The operating keys and the display are located on the on board panel.
The communication port connector is located on the front of the AVR.

Installation:
The installation site must be dry and free of dust.

Mounting:
The AVR must be installed inside the Generator or inside the control panel in order to obtain
protection against accidental contacts. To fasten the AVR, use the hole on the dissipater
corners inserting 6MA screws.
It is recommended to bind the AVR back on a metal plate for better heat dissipation.

2.3.3 Device connections: CN3 control signals and RS485 interface

ATTENTION: The input/output signals present on the terminal board CN3 are
internally connected to the power supply. Therefore, the input contacts have to
be provided of the separator relays, while for the analog inputs, the control
signal doesn’t need to be isolated. If you use the cable to communicate with
the AVR via the PC software, you need a USB isolator between the cable
connected to the AVR and the PC

2.4 Software
2.4.1 Operating modes
S2022 allows bump less changeover between all modes of operation

Automatic voltage regulator (AVR)

It regulates the output voltage of the
synchronous machine.
Note: Output Generator Current
measurement is optional: it is used only for
droop compensation

Field Current Regulation (FCR)

It regulates the excitation (field) current of
the synchronous machine.
This operation mode is quite useful during
commissioning and/or troubleshooting.

PF or Var regulation (PF, Var)

Regulates the power factor or reactive power
of the synchronous machine.
Note: these functions are available only if the
machine is working in parallel (and with
closed 52G signal)

PAG. 13/44
3. FUNCTIONALITES DESCRIPTIONS
3.1 Soft Start
Setting the following parameters, it is possible to adjust the excitation ramp of the generator
as follows:

Parameter Description (short) Description

P.100 Gen rate voltage Generator rated voltage [V]
P.101 Max Gen. voltage Generator maximum voltage [%]
R.002 Ramp slope Ramp slope [%/s]

The soft start function is working only in the AVR mode

3.2 Droop Compensation

The compensation function (K> 0) is used in order to reduce the voltage drop created by the
possible presence of a power transformer mounted after the Generator.
The ‘droop’ function (K<0) is recommendable in case of operation with more generators in
parallel. It applies a machine output voltage reduction according to the reactive power output.

This function is enabled only in AVR mode and with digital input 3 (programmed as I002=4,
52G + Droop reg.) closed.
Parameter Descrption (short) Description
P.400 Voltage comp K Voltage comp [%]

PAG. 14/44
3.3 Keep Alive and Field Flashing
The “keep alive” feature allows to maintain a minimum excitation current even when the
Generator frequency drops below the minimum (P.130).
The minimum excitation current value can be adjusted using parament P.250; this setting
must be done based on the power source (set up to 0 if the power is from PMG or auxiliary).
The AVR S2022 works to maintain an input auxiliary voltage of 60V in order to feed itself.

Parameter Description (short) Description

P.250 KeepAlive min I Min. excitation current in case frequency drops below
P.130[%]
P.130 Gen. V/f min freq Min. frequency [Hz]

Keep alive enabled (P.250>0) Keep alive disabled (P250=0)

To enable field flashing open bridge “A” placed near the fuse (see pag.9)
This configuration, during the start-up of the synchronous machine, triggers the field flashing
that supplies an impulsive current until the AVR has enough input voltage to control and
regulate the machine output voltage at the set value. After that phase the field flashing will be
disabled.
With P.250=0 and bridge “A” closed, below the minimum Generator frequency the field
flashing output is disabled.
In this configuration the field flashing is disabled because the AVR is powered by another
source (for example the aux service line). which allow the regulator to reach the set value.

PAG. 15/44
3.4 Limiters
3.4.1 V/Hz Limiter
The V / Hz limit is active during the voltage control phase. It works by limiting the Generator
voltage as the frequency falls below the maximum frequency set in parameter P.131. This
operation can avoid an Generator over-flushing in case of a reduction of laps.

Parameter Description (short) Description

P.100 Gen. rated V Generator rated voltage [V]
P.130 Gen. V/f min freq Generator V/f minimum frequency [Hz]
P.131 Gen. V/f Max freq Generator V/f maximum frequency [Hz]
P.132 V/f slope Generator V/f slope

Note: The voltage corresponding at the minimum frequencu (P.130) results from:
Vgen @ Fmin = Vgen_nom * (Fmin / Fmax) / Slope
That, introducting the parameters, means:
Vgen @ Fmin = P.100 * (P.130 / P.131) / P.132

3.4.2 Minimum excitation current limiter

The limit of minimum excitation current is only active when the Generator is in parallel [gigital
input 52G (machine in parallel) closed].
It represents the minimum excitation current below which the Generator cannot work.

3.4.3 Maximum excitation (fied) current limiter
The limit of maximum excitation current operates a limitation on the maximum excitation
current.

Parameter Description (short) Description

values between 102% and P.001 (this corresponds to an
inverse time curve) [s]. Three operation cases can be
distinguished:
1. If Iecc≤102% tends to infinity (Integral IxT
P.032 F. OE Lim time discharges);
2. If 102%<Iecc≤Ioe accepts the value but increases
integral IxT;
3. If Iecc≥Ioe the AVR limits to Ioe for the time set in
P032. Once the time has passed, the AVR brings the
current to 102%.
r.900 OE/UE Lim reg KP proportional gain
r.901 OE/UE Lim reg TI integral action time

3.4.4 Minimum capability limiter

The curve of minimum capability represents the reactive power limit absorbed by the machine.
It is determined by interpolation of 5 values:

PAG. 17/44
 Parameter Description (short) Description
P.160 Q – lim @ P 0% Limit Q- at P=0%
P.161 Q – lim @ P 25% Limit Q- at P=25%
P.162 Q – lim @ P 50% Limit Q- at P=50%
P.163 Q – lim @ P 75% Limit Q- at P=75%
P.164 Q – lim @ P 100% Limit Q- at P=100%

3.4.5 Maximum capability limiter

The curve of maximum capability represents the reactive power output limit of the
synchronous machine. It is determined by interpolation of 2 values:
 Q+ limit a P=0% P.170 [%]
 Q+ limit a P=100% P.171 [%]

Parameter Description (short) Description

P.170 Q + lim @ P 0% Limit Q+ at P=0%
P.171 Q + lim @ P 100% Limit Q+ at P=100%

regulator excitation terminals, without considering other effects.
This functioning mode could become useful during the regulator
commissioning phase or in case of troubleshooting activities.

FCR function will be activated setting P300=0.

As alternative it is possible to activate the FCR function programming the digital input I002=3,
and closing the external contact.

(increase/decrease)
By programmed digital inputs (I.000=1 increase, I.001=2 decrease) on CN3 connector, it is
possible to adjust the nominal voltage set point in a range between -30% and +30%. This can
be set through parameter r.010.
After closing of 52G (programmed as I.002=5 (Parallel + PF regulation)), the “increase” and
“decrease” commands increase or decrease the Power Factor value.
After closing of 52G (programmed as I.002=6 (Parallel + VAR regulation), the “increase” and
“decrease” commands increase or decrease the Reactive Power value.

6. MAINTENANCE AND FAULTS

6.1 Safety regulations

CAUTION
The AVR is NOT insulated from the power supply and from field circuit.
The maintenance operations MUST be done ONLY when the AVR is disconnected
and the protection devices activated.
.

6.2 Maintenance
When the system is shut-down, check the fastening of fast-on terminals on the AVR. Generally
check all connections to avoid loose contact.

6.3 Trouble shooting

The following instructions are supposed to help to find out the foult location within the whole
excitation system. However, it is not possible to deal with all eventualities.

List of possible faults

Possible causes Checks, action

Machine is not excited
 Field circuit interrupted  Check connection wirings
 No power supply  Measure power supply L1-L2-L3
 Check for tripped protective circuit-breaker
 Set point error  Check operating mode
 Check programmable digital input setting and
connection
 Check set point

Overvoltage during start-up

 Overvoltage caused by voltage regulator  Measure the Generator voltage directly on the
voltage sensing input
 Check configuration
 Check set point
 Check overvoltage threshold
 Check regulator settings

Unstable output voltage in no-load operation

 Regulator error  Check operating mode.
 Check programmable digital input setting and
connection
 Check set points
 Check parameters of voltage regulator
 Set point error  Unstable Increase/Decrease inputs
 Unstable Externally analog input
 Control element failure  Check wiring for loose contact, check input
voltages, check field current

Unstable parallel with grid operation.
Periodic oscillation of reactive and active power
 Incorrect regulator settings
Irregular instability, i.e. sporadic over - or under excitation which is not
caused by grid
 Poor effect of the Droop influence on the voltage
regulator or C.T. defective measurement
 Machine within inadmissible operating range
(normally protected by limiters)
Operating point cannot be reached
 Set point error
 Limiter active
External (remote) controls problems
 No external control voltage
 The configuration of the digital or analog
inputs is not correct
Have some modification occurred on the grid
configuration?
Are additional outputs, loads etc. installed?
 Yes: re-set regulator
 No: check parameters of AVR, PF, and Var
functions
 Check droop compensation setting
 Check external current transformer circuit
 Gen CB Closed Status not active
 Check programmable digital input setting and
connection
 Bring machine into normal operating range by
adjusting the set point.
