R 450 A.V.R.

R 450 FOR SHUNT, AREP or PMG ALTERNATORS

1 - Description

R 450 is an analog A.V.R..

It is designed for alternators with a
SHUNT, AREP or PMG excitation .
R 250 controls the excitation current in order
to maintain the output voltage of the alternator.
R 250 is performant in terms of voltage
regulation, simple to set , to use and is reliable.
Rotating switch for U/f, LAM, excitation type and
voltage sensing are available.
