AVR14 – AREP
EXCITATION SYSTEM

The AREP excitation system improves the voltage
response of the generator during transient load
application, such as motor starting. AREP also
provides a sustained short-circuit current for the
operation of protective devices. This option
requires the standard self-excited generator
be replaced by a generator that has been fitted
with auxiliary AREP coils. These coils provide
excitation power to the AVR, giving both shunt
and compound (booster) characteristics.
Isolation of the excitation power ensures
that regulation is not affected by non-linear
distorting loads.

AVR14 is only available on 3-phase models.
