Description

Voltage Regulator


INTRODUCTION
The Basler AVC 63-7F Voltage Regulator is a potted unit

contained in a plastic case. The regulator controls the dc

exciter field power of conventional, 50 or 60 Hz brushless

generators that have a 63 Vdc exciter field to regulate the

generator output voltage.
Regulation is provided by sensing the generator output

voltage, converting it to a dc signal, and comparing the

signal to a reference voltage signal. An error signal is

developed and used to control the dc field power in order to

maintain a constant generator output.
SPECIFICATIONS
DC Output Power

7 Adc at 63 Vdc maximum continuous with a 240 Vac input.
Exciter field DC Resistance

9.0 Ω minimum.
AC Power Input

170 to 305 Vac, single-phase, 50/60 Hz.

Burden: 900 VA maximum at 240 Vac power.
AC Sensing Voltage

380 to 480 Vac, single-phase, 50/60 Hz.

Burden: 5VA.
Voltage Adjust Range

340 to 528 Vac using the internal voltage adjust. The

external voltage adjust provides a ±10% adjustment of the

nominal value determined by the internal voltage adjust.
Regulation Accuracy

±

0.25%

Voltage Drift

<±1% voltage variation for a 50°C (122°F) change.
Response Time

<16 ms
Frequency Compensation

Refer to Figure 1.
Voltage Buildup

Internal provisions for automatic buildup from generator

residual voltage as low as 6 Vac at 25 Hz.
Power Dissipation

35 W maximum.
Paralleling Provisions

CT input for customer supplied 5A nominal CT. Adjustable

droop from 0 to 6% with 5A input at 0.8 power factor. CT

input burden is 2.5 VA.
Temperature
Operating:

–40 to +60°C (–40 to +140°F)

Storage:

–65 to +85°C (–85 to +185°F)

Vibration

Withstands 1.2 G at 5 to 26 Hz; 0.036” double amplitude at

27 to 53 Hz; 5 G at 53 to 1,000 Hz.

Shock

Withstands up to 15 G in each of three mutually

perpendicular axes.
Agency Recognition

Certified per CSA Standard C22.2 No. 14
Weight

482 g (17 oz) net
INSTALLATION
Mounting
The regulator may be mounted in any position. Refer to the

outline drawing (Figure 2). The regulator may be mounted

directly on the generator set using ¼” hardware. Select the

proper hardware to withstand any expected

shipping/transportation and operating conditions.
Interconnection
Refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5.
1. Connect a jumper from COM to the 50 Hz terminal for

50 Hz operation, or leave the two terminals

unconnected for 60 Hz operation.

2. If an external voltage adjust control is being used,

connect the potentiometer to terminals 6 and 7 as

shown. If not, connect a jumper between terminals 6

and 7.

3. Connect the exciter field to terminals F+ and F-. Be

sure to observe polarity.

4. Connect the input power to the generator stator to

provide power to terminals 3 and E3/4. Fuse both

leads. Install the optional shutdown switch, if desired.

5. Connect the sensing input to E1 and E3/4. The

sensing should be connected “line-to-line”.

Parallel Compensation
When it is required to operate the regulator in parallel with

an isolated or utility bus, in addition to the regulator

provisions, a 2.5 VA current transformer (CT) is required

(See Figures 3 and 5). This CT is connected in a generator

line and should deliver from 3 to 5 amperes secondary

current at rated load.
The phase relationship of the CT signal to the regulator

sensing voltage must be correct or the system will not

parallel properly. The CT must be installed in the line of the

three-phase generator that does not supply sensing to the

regulator.
Figures 5 and 6 show the correct CT polarity for A-B-C

phase rotation sequence. If the phase rotation sequence is

A-C-B, the CT secondary leads must be interchanged.
Reactive Droop Compensation
For reactive droop compensation, connect the CT to its

respective regulator as shown on Figures 5 and 6.
A unit-parallel switch shorts the parallel CT secondary to

prevent any droop signal from being injected into the

regulating system during single unit operation. The switch

may not be required on parallel droop compensation

applications where a voltage drop is not objectionable.
