Disposal and recycling instructions

The R250 is an IP00 product. It must be installed inside a unit so that this unit’s cover can

provide IP20 minimum total protection (it must only be installed on our alternators in the

appropriate location so that when viewed externally, it has a higher degree of protection than

IP20).

1.1 - SHUNT excitation system

The SHUNT excitation alternator is auto-

excited with a R250 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.

2.2 - U/F Fonction and LAM

The threshold position (50 Hz - 60 Hz) to

action the U/F fonction as well as the LAM

setting type is selected using the

potentionmeter.

WARNING: The jumper settings must

correspond to the rated operating

frequency (see the nameplate on the

alternator).

Risk of destruction for the alternator.

The threshhold position and LAM fonction

settings are done with the jumper.

Operating at 50 Hz: (U/F gradient)

0: threshold at 48 Hz without LAM for

impacts between 30 and 40% of the rated

load.

1: threshold at 48 Hz with LAM 13% for

impacts between 40 and 70% of the rated

load.

2: threshold at 48 Hz with LAM 25% for

impacts > 70% of the rated load.

2.3 - R250 A.V.R. option

Potentiometer for voltage setting, 1000 W/

0,5 W min: setting range ± 5 %.

- Remove the ST4 jumper.

For wiring up the external potentiometer;

the “earth” wires must be isolated as

well as the potentiometer terminals

(wires at the same voltage as the power).

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.

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 qualied personnel.

Respecting the load speed specied 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 - R250 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 - R250 eld 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

Do not reclose the power supply until the

voltage has reached a value ≤15% of the

rated voltage (approximately 5 seconds

after opening)

3.2.2.2 - R250 eld forcing

The battery must be isolated from the

mass.

Exciter eld may be at line potential.
