Basler Electric MVC236 - Manual (Page 7)

9204300990 Rev J 1
Introduction
Manual Voltage Control MVC 236 enables manual control of generator output and is intended as a
backup system for an associated automatic voltage regulator. During generator startup, an integrated
buildup circuit maintains maximum MVC 236 output power for reliable buildup of the generator output
voltage.
The MVC 236 is intended for behind-the-panel mounting. MVC 236 components are mounted on a 14-
gauge, steel chassis with an aluminum cover and heat sinks. MVC 236 modules with part number
9204300100 have a chassis constructed from low-carbon steel while MVC 236 modules with part number
9204300104 have a chassis constructed from 316-grade stainless steel.
Standard Equipment
The MVC 236 is supplied with a potentiometer and spike suppression module.
Potentiometer
The potentiometer is intended for remote mounting and controls the MVC 236 setpoint.
Spike Suppression Module
The spike suppression module protects the MVC 236 from potentially damaging voltage spikes when the
MVC 236 is powered by a high-impedance source.
Optional Equipment
Available optional equipment for the MVC 236 includes an Auto/Off/Manual control switch and a nulling
chassis.
Auto/Off/Manual Switch
An available Auto/Off/Manual switch (P/N 9204306100) enables transfer of control between the MVC 236
and automatic voltage regulator.
Nulling Chassis
An available nulling chassis (P/N 9204304100) provides “bumpless” transfers from the automatic voltage
regulator to the MVC 236.
