2 - SUPPLY
2.1 - AREP excitation system
For both AREP & PMG excitation systems,
the alternator voltage regulator is the R
448.
With AREP excitation, the R 448 electronic
AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings
which are independent of the voltage
match circuit.
The first winding has a voltage in proportion
to that of the alternator (characteristic
Shunt), the second has a voltage in
proportion to the stator current (compound
characteristic: Booster effect).
The power supply voltage is rectified and
filtered before being used by the AVR
monitoring transistor.

2.2 - PMG excitation system
With PMG excitation, a permanent magnet
generator (PMG) added to the alternator
supplies the AVR with voltage which is
independent of the main alternator winding.
This is fitted at the rear of the machine and
connected to the R 448 AVR, and the ST9
jumper must be disconnected.
These two principles provide the machine
with a short-circuit current capacity of 3 IN
for 10 s, and good immunity to distortions
generated by the load.
The AVR monitors and corrects the
alternator output voltage by adjusting the
excitation current.

3.2 - Frequency compared with
voltage (without LAM)
3.3 - LAM (Load Acceptance
Module) characteristics
3.3.1 - Voltage drop
The LAM system is integrated in the
regulator, as standard it is active (ST5 with
bridge). It can be deactivated by removing
the ST5 bridge. It can be adjusted to 13%
or 25% by means of the ST10 jumper.
- Role of the “LAM” (Load Acceptance
Module):
On application of a load, 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 13% or 25% and
consequently the amount of active load
applied is reduced by approximately 25%
to 45%, until the speed reaches its rated
value again.
Hence the LAM can be used either to
reduce the speed variation (frequency) and
its duration for a given applied load, or to
increase the applied load possible for one
speed variation (turbo-charged engine).
To avoid voltage oscillations, the trip
threshold for the LAM function should be
set approximately 2 Hz below the lowest
frequency in steady state.
It is advisable to use the LAM at 25% for
load impacts Š 70% of the genset rated
power.
- LAM : action eliminated by cutting the ST5
jumper.
3.3.2 - Gradual voltage return function
During load impacts, the function helps the
genset to return to its rated speed faster
thanks to a gradual increase in voltage
according to the principle:
- If the speed drops between 46 and 50 Hz,
the rated voltage follows a fast gradient as
it is restored.
- If the speed drops below 46 Hz, since the
engine needs more help, the voltage
follows a slow gradient as it returns to the
reference value.

4.1 - Electrical checks on the AVR
- Check that all connections have been
made properly as shown in the attached
wiring diagram.
- Check that the ST3 frequency selection
jumper is on the correct frequency setting.
- Check whether the ST4 jumper or the
remote adjustment potentiometer have
been connected.
- Optional operating modes.
• ST1 jumper : open to connect the R 731
or R 734 3-phase
sensing module.
• ST2 jumper : open if rapid response time
used
• ST5 jumper : open to suppress the LAM
function.
• ST9 jumper : closed with AREP, open

4.2 - Settings
The machine is tested and set at the
factory. When first used with no load,
make sure that the drive speed is
correct and stable (see the nameplate).
After operational testing, replace all
access panels or covers.
The only possible adjustments to the
machine should be made on the AVR.
4.2.1 - R448 settings (AREP or PMG
system)
Before any intervention on the A.V.R.,
make sure that the ST9 jumper is closed
with AREP / SHUNT excitation and
disconnected with PMG or separate
excitation.
a) Initial potentiometer settings (see table
below)
- Remote voltage adjustment potentiometer
: centre (ST4 jumper removed).
Stability adjustments in standalone
operation
b) Install a D.C. analogue voltmeter (needle
dial) cal. 100V on terminals E+, E- and an
A.C. voltmeter cal 300 - 500 or 1000V on the
alternator output terminals.
c) Make sure that the ST3 jumper is
positioned on the desired frequency (50 or
60 Hz).
d) Voltage potentiometer P2 at minimum,
fully anti-clockwise.
e) Stability potentiometer P3 to around 1/3 of
the anti-clockwise limit.
f) Start the engine and set its speed to a
frequency of 48 Hz for 50 Hz, or 58 for 60
Hz.
g) Set the output voltage to the desired
value using P2.
- Rated voltage UN for solo operation (eg.
400 V)
- Or UN + 2 to 4% for parallel operation with
C.T. (eg. 410 V)

the voltage between E+ and E- (approx. 10V
D.C.). The best response times are obtained
at the limit of the instability. If no stable
position can be obtained, try disconnecting
or replacing the ST2 jumper (normal/fast).
h) Check LAM operation : ST5 closed.
i) Vary the frequency (speed) around 48 or
58 Hz according to the operating frequency,
and check the change in voltage from that
observed previously (~ 15%).
j) Readjust the speed of the unit to its rated
no-load value.
Adjustments in parallel operation
Before any intervention on the alternator,
make sure that the speed droop is
identical for all engines.
k) Preset for parallel operation (with C.T.
connected to S1, S2)
- Potentiometer P1 (quadrature droop) in
centre position.
Apply the rated load (cos M= 0.8 inductive).
The voltage should drop by 2 to 3%. If it
increases, check that V and W and also S1
and S2 have not been reversed.
l) The no-load voltages should be identical
for all the alternators intended to run in
parallel.
- Couple the machines in parallel.
- By adjusting the speed, try to obtain 0 KW
power exchange.
- By altering the voltage setting P2 on one of
the machines, try to cancel (or minimise) the
current circulating between the machines.
- From now on, do not touch the voltage
settings.
m) Apply the available load (the setting is
only correct if a reactive load is available)
- By altering the speed, match the KW (or
divide the rated power of the units
proportionally)
- By altering the quadrature droop
potentiometer P1, match or divide the
currents.
4.2.2 - Max. excitation setting (excitation
ceiling)
- static adjustment of the current limit ,
potentiometer P5 (fuse rating : 8 A - 10
seconds).
The maximum factory setting corresponds
to that of the excitation current required to
obtain a 3-phase short-circuit current of
approximately 3 IN at 50 Hz for industrial
power, unless otherwise specified(*).
A static method can be used to reduce this
value or adapt the Isc to the actual operating
power (derated machine), which is safer for
the alternator and the installation.
- Disconnect power supply wires X1,X2 and
Z1,Z2 and the voltage reference (0-110V-
220V-380V) on the alternator.
Connect the mains power supply using a
transformer (200-240V) as indicated
(X1,X2) : 120V).
- Apply the corresponding voltage to the
voltage reference input used
- Supply the AVR with a voltage of 120V
max. on the X1, X2 input.
- Install a 10A D.C. ammeter in series with
the exciter field.
- Turn P5 fully anti-clockwise and activate
the power supply. If there is no output
current from the AVR, turn potentiometer P2
(voltage) clockwise until the ammeter
indicates a stable current.
- Switch the power supply off, then on again,
turn P5 clockwise until the required max.
current is obtained (no more than 10 A).

4.3 - Electrical faults
Warning : after operational testing,
replace all access panels or covers.
Fault Action Effect Check/Cause
No voltage at
no load on
start-up
Connect a new battery of 4
to 12 volts to terminals E-
and E+, respecting the
polarity, for 2 to 3 seconds
The alternator builds up and its voltage is
still correct when the battery is removed.
- Lack of residual magnetism
The alternator builds up but its voltage
does not reach the rated value when
the battery is removed.
- Check the connection of the voltage reference to
the AVR
- Faulty diodes
- Armature short-circuit
The alternator builds up but its voltage
disappears when the battery is
removed
- Faulty AVR
- Field windings disconnected
- Main field winding open circuit - check the
resistance
Voltage too low Check the drive speed
Correct speed
Check the AVR connections (AVR may be faulty)
- Field windings short-circuited
- Rotating diodes burnt out
- Main field winding short-circuited - Check the
resistance
Speed too low
Increase the drive speed
(Do not touch the AVR voltage pot. (P2) before
running at the correct speed.)
Voltage too
high
Adjust AVR voltage
potentiometer
Adjustment ineffective Faulty AVR
Voltage
oscillations
Adjust AVR stability
potentiometer
If no effect : try normal / fast recovery
modes (ST2)
- Check the speed : possibility of cyclic irregularity
- Loose connections
- Faulty AVR
- Speed too low when on load (or U/F bend set too
high)
Voltage correct
at no load and
too low when
on load (*)
Run at no load and check
the voltage between E+
and E- on the AVR
Voltage between E+ and E-
SHUNT < 20 V - AREP / PMG < 10V - Check the speed (or U/F bend set too high)
Voltage between E+ and E-
SHUNT > 30V - AREP / PMG > 15V
- Faulty rotating diodes
- Short-circuit in the main field. Check the
resistance
- Faulty exciter armature.
(*) Caution : For single-phase operation, check that the sensing wires coming from the AVR are correctly connected to the operating terminals
Voltage
disappears
during
operation (**)
Check the AVR, the surge
suppressor, the rotating
diodes, and replace any
defective components
The voltage does not return to the rated
value.
- Exciter winding open circuit
- Faulty exciter armature
- Faulty AVR
- Main field open circuit or short-circuited
(**) Caution : Internal protection may be activated (overload, open circuit, short-circuit)
