Benefits of using the AS540 Automatic Voltage Regulator
The AVR provides closed loop control by sensing the alternator output voltage at the main stator windings and adjusting the exciter stator flied strength. Voltage induced in the exciter rotor, rectified by the rotating diodes, magnetises the rotating main field which induces voltage in the main stator windings. A self excited AVR receives power from the alternator output terminals or a special auxiliary winding in the main stator winding.
