Generator Automatic Voltage Regulator

Operation Manual

Self ExcitedAutomatic Voltage Regulator

For use in Brushless Full Harmonic or Harmonic andAuxiliaryWinding
The EA08A is a Special Generator Voltage Regulator that uses in its power stage UltraFast CoPack
IGBTs Power Devises. This design gives us the flexibility for using PMGs with varied frequencies outputs
from diverse alternator manufactures. Terminals are also included to power the AVR as a shunt regulator
or from harmonic and auxiliary windings. The IGBT makes it flexible enough to easily substituting haft
and full wave AVRs. In addition, A1 and A2 terminals for use in remote bias and other terminals adding
the ability to use 1 and 5 Amp CTs.

Mechanical Specifications
AV R can be moun ted directly on the engine, genset, switchgear or control pan el that conforms to the
moun ting specification.
All voltage readings are to be taken with an average-read ing voltmeter Meggers and high-potential test
equipment must not be used. Use of such equipment could damage the AV R.
