Replacement Leroy Somer 150kVA Diesel Generator AVR Automatic Voltage Regulator 3 Phase AVR R448

Features:

                                                               
Description:
The circuitry of the Leroy Somer R448 Voltage Regulator AVR provides closed loop control of the alternator output voltage by
regulating the exciter field current.
The R448 Leroy Somer AVR can be powered by Shunt, AREP or PMG field excitation systems and is fitted as standard on: 
5000 Series Alternators
6000 Series Alternators
7000 Series Alternators

Load Adjustment Module (LAM): 
On load impact, the rotation speed of the generator set decreases. When it passes below the preset frequency threshold, the LAM
causes the voltage to drop by approximately 15% and consequently the amount of active load applied is reduced by approximately 25%
until the speed reaches it's rated value again

R448 is a half-wave phase controlled thyristor type Automatic Voltage Regulator and forms part of the excitation system for a brushless generator. In addition to regulating the generator voltage, the AVR circuitry includes under speed and sensing loss protection to ensure safe, reliable control of the generator. Positive voltage build up from residual levels is ensured by the use of proficient semiconductors in the power circuitry of the AVR.
