2. WIRING
When generator supply is over load, N phase will be
different with the sharing load by 3 phases (load
imbalance). Hence, the voltage from N phase to 3
phases (R.S.T.) will be altered. When the rated
voltage of the traditional single input’s AVR is above
110V, it will increase the voltage drift rate by using N
phase as the detective input. It will also cause the
voltage imbalance.
EA05A-B can improve the above situation, and
increase the generator’s rated voltage usage space,
such as 110V. We can all detect by the “phase
voltage”.
1. When the rated phase voltage of the generator is
110VAC, the input terminals B, C and sensing
terminals A, C can join together (as show as
figure3. It’s the original setting).or connect
independent.(as show as Figure3).
2. When the rated phase voltage of the generator is
110V, the input terminals B, C and sensing
terminals A, C must separate connect the wiring
(as show as Figure 3). The voltage between B
and C must not be over 300 VAC.
3. F+ F- terminals connect to the generator field. ( J
and K )
FEXT.VR is the potentiometer (1KΩ1W). These two
terminals must be by-pass when external
potentiometer is needless.
P.S. : A, B, C, F+ F- the usage of wire gauge are
AWG16 or 1.25mm

°
C above 600V.
The EXT.VR connection wires must be made of
isolated wiring.
3. ADJUSTMENTS
The voltage setting for 110V and the frequency
setting for 50/60HZ is show in Figure3. Please
check the voltage/frequency selector setting is
correct before start the generator.
CAUTION :
The generator or AVR may be damaged if the
voltage / frequency selector setting is incorrect.

1. Before you turn on the generator, please turn the

voltage adjustment and stability adjustment full
anti-clockwise. After the generator is on and run
stably, turn the voltage adjustment clockwise to
reach the required out voltage. (If there is an
external potentiometer, turn the external
potentiometer to the middle position before adjust
internal voltage potentiometer.)
2. Adjust “Stability Adjustment” clockwise slowly to
change the feedback time between AVR and the
generator. If the adjustment is too big, it might
cause the voltage instable. If too small, the load
voltage will change too much at heavy load. Our
suggestion is to trace by the multi-meter DCV. To
adjust “stability adjustment”, you just need to
make the multi-meter waving smaller. It can also
improve the full load’s voltage drift rate.
4. FIELD FLASHING
When the regulator is operated with the generator for
the first time, the polarity of residual magnetism may
be reversed or too small to achieve the necessary
build-up voltage for the regulator. If reversing the field
connections does not induce build-up, andtheresidual
voltage is less than the specified value of 5 VAC, shut
down the Prime-mover and proceed with the following
steps :
1. With the Prime-mover at rest and the regulator’s
field output wires disconnected, apply a DC
source ( NOT grounded ) of not more than 3~12
VDC with Positive to F+ and Negative to F-, in
series with a current-limiting resistor of 3~5 ohms
20 watt. (The set battery is a suitable source.)
2. Allow approximately 3 seconds before removing
the DC source.
3. With the voltage regulator disconnected ( wires 3
and 4 ), start the prime mover and measure the
“ residual ” voltage available at the auxiliary
winding. If this voltage is greater than 5 VAC,
reconnect voltage regulator, and voltage build-up
should be successful. If less than 5 VAC is
measured, repeat field flashing procedure.
4. If repeating steps a. and b. does not result in
generator voltage build-up, and residual is
greater than 5 VAC, replace voltage regulator.
WARNING
This Automatic Voltage Regulator is not
equipped with loss-Sensing Protection
function / Over Excitation Protection. An
additional Over-Voltage Protection device for
load may be required to avoid possible
damage to the equipment or severe personal
injury or death.
