1.1 - SHUNT excitation system
The SHUNT excitation alternator is auto-
excited with a R 251 voltage regulator.
The regulator controls the excitation
current according to the alternator’s output
voltage. With a very simple conception, the
SHUNT excitation alternator does not have
a short circuit capacity.
The R 251 is a R 250 with a specific
excitation ceiling = 4 A during 30 s (set for
the dedicated single phase alternator with
type M or M1).

2.4 - LAM characteristics (Load
Acceptance Module)
2.4.1 - Voltage drop
The LAM system is integrated in the A.V.R.
It is active as standard. It can be adjusted
to 13% or 25%.
- Role of the «LAM» (Load Adjustment
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 50%, 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 engines).
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 advised to use the "LAM" at 25% for
load impacts > at 70% of the genset rated
power.
2.4.2 - 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 following principles:
- if the speed drops between 46 Hz 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.

3 - INSTALLATION -
COMMISSIONING
3.1 - Electrical checks on the AVR
- Check that all connections have been
made properly as shown in the attached
wiring diagram.
- Check that the position of the jumper
corresponds to the operating frequency.
- Check whether the ST4 jumper or the
remote adjustment potentiometer have
been connected.
3.2 - Settings
The different settings made during the
trial are to be done by qualified
personnel. Respecting the load speed
specified on the nameplate is vital in
order to start a settings procedure. After
operational testing, replace all access
panels or covers.
The only possible settings on the
machine are to be done with the A.V.R.
3.2.1 - R251 settings (SHUNT system)
Initial potentiometer positions
- voltage setting potentiometer P1 for the
A.V.R.: full left
- remote voltage setting potentiometer: in
the middle.
Operate the alternator at its rated speed: if
the voltage does not rise it is necessary to
re-magnatise the magnetic circuit.
- slowly adjust the voltage potentiometer of
the A.V.R. P1 until the output voltage
reaches its rated value.
- Stability setting with P2.
3.2.2 - Special type of use
Excitation circuit E+, E- must not be left
open when the machine is running:
A.V.R. damage will occur.
3.2.2.1 - R251 field weakening (SHUNT)
The exciter is switched off by disconnecting
the A.V.R. power supply (1 wire - 0 or 110V).
Contact rating: 16A - 250V AC
3.2.2.2 - R251 field forcing
The battery must be isolated from the
mass.
Exciter field may be at line potential.
