SPECIFICATION, INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX440 is a half-wave phase-controlled thyristor type
‘Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVA) and forms part of the
excitation system for a brushless generator.
Inaddition to regulating the generator voltage, the AVR circuitry
includes underspeed and sensing loss protection to ensure
safe, reliable control of the generator. Excitation power is
derived directly from the generator terminals.
Positive voltage build up from residual levels is ensured by the
se of efficient semiconductors in the power circuitry of the
AVR,
‘The AVRis linked with the main stator windings and the exciter
field windings to provide closed loop contro of the output voltage
with load regulation of +/- 1%.
In addition to being powered from the main stator, the AVR.
‘also derives a sample voltage from the output windings for
‘voltage control purposes. In response to this sample voltage,
the AVR controls the power fed tothe exciter field, and hence
‘the main field, to maintain the machine output voltage within
the specified limits, compensating forload, speed, temperature
‘and power factor of the genorator.
A frequency measuring circuit continually monitors the
generator output and provides output underspeed protection
of the excitation system, by reducing the output voltage
proportionally with speed below a presettable threshold. A
‘manual adjustment is provided for factory setting of the under
frequency rol off point, (UFRO). This can easily be changed to
‘50 or 60 Hz in the field by push-on wire link selection.
Overvoltages caused by open circuit sensing terminals are
avoided by sensing loss detection circuitry which reduces the
generator terminal voltage to a safe fixed level
Provision is made for the connection of a remote voltage
‘immer, allowing the user fine control of the generator’s output,
‘Accessories are available for this AVA. Please refer to factory
for unher details.

The main functions of the AVR are:
‘Sensing Resistors take a proportion of the generator output
Voltage and attenuate it. This input chain of resistors includes
the range potentiometer and hand trimmer which adjust the
{generator voltage. An isolating transformer allows connection
to windings of different polarity and phase. An operational
precision rectifier converts the ac sensing voltage into dc for
further processing
Quadrature droop circuit converts the current input into a
voltage, which is phase mixed with the sensing voltage. The
results a net increase in the output from the sensing network
as the power factor lags, causing the reduction in excitation
needed for reactive load sharing of paralleled generators,
‘Atrimmer allows control over the amount of droop signal.
Sensing loss detector is an electronic changeover switch
Which normally connects the main comparatorfamplifier to the
“input sensing" network, and automatically changes over to
the "power sensing” network when the normal sensing voltage
is lost.
DC Mixer provides an interface between the AVR and
accessories and allows the generators excitation to be
Controlled by adding or subtracting the accessory dc output
voltage to the AVR rectifier sensing voltage.
Main Comparator/Amplifier compares the sensing voltage to
the “reference voltage" and amplifies the difference (error) 10
provide a controling signal for power devices. The "pedestal
and ramp" circuit and "level detector and driver" provide the
‘means to infinitely control the conduction period of the output
device over each half cycle (phase control), and provide the
‘exciter wth the required power to maintain the generator voltage
within the specified limits. The “Stability circuit” provides
‘adjustable negative ac feedback to ensure good steady state
and transient performance of the control system.
Low Hz detector measures the period of each electrical cycle
‘and causes the reference voltage to be reduced approximately
linearly with speed below a presettable threshold. A light
‘emitting diode gives indication of underspeed running
‘Synchronising circuit provides a short pulse at the zero
crossing of each cycle and is used to synchronise the
underspeed and pedestal and ramp circuit to the generator
waveform. The circuit is preceded by a “low pass fiter” to
prevent false zer0 crossing pulses caused by severely distorted
waveforms.
Power Devices are configured as half-wave thyristor and
freewheel diode to vary the amount of exciter field current in
response tothe error signal produced by the main comparator.
‘Suppression components are included to prevent sub cycle
voltage spikes damaging the AVR components and also to
reduce the amount of AVR thyristor noise on the main terminals.
