INTRODUCTION
AVC63-4A voltage regulators are designed for use with
50/60 hertz brushless generators. Regulator features
include frequency compensation, overexcitation shutdown,
a solid-state buildup circuit, and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) filtering.

OPERATING FEATURES
Corner Frequency Selection and Adjustment
The AVC63-4A corner frequency setting is factory-preset at
55 hertz for use with 60 hertz systems. For use with 50
hertz systems, a 45 hertz corner frequency setting is
achieved by connecting a jumper across terminals HZ1 and
HZ2.
The corner frequency is adjusted by the AVC63-4A UF ADJ
control. Clockwise rotation raises the corner frequency
(shifts the curve to the right). To adjust corner frequency:
1.
Adjust the UF ADJ control fully counterclockwise.
2.
Start and set the generator at its rated voltage.
3.
Adjust the generator frequency to the desired
kneepoint frequency.
4.
Slowly adjust the UF ADJ control clockwise until the
generator voltage just begins to decrease.
Figure 2 illustrates the AVC63-4A frequency compensation
curves.
Overexcitation Shutdown
If the exciter field voltage rises above the normal operating
range, the overexcitation shutdown function removes the
AVC63-4A output power after a time delay that is inversely
proportional to the magnitude of the overvoltage detected.
The time characteristic for this function is illustrated in
Figure 3.
After output power is removed, the regulator can be reset
by decreasing the input voltage below 6 Vac for a minimum
of 2 seconds. This can be accomplished by stopping the
prime mover or interrupting the regulator input with a reset
switch.
Stability Adjustment
The response rate of the generator output voltage to a
change in load is adjusted through the AVC63-4A STAB
control. Clockwise rotation increases the response time.
This decreases the amount of voltage overshoot which
increases stability. Counterclockwise rotation decreases
the response time. This increases the amount of voltage
overshoot which decreases stability.
