R726GP Alternative Leroy-Somer Automatic Voltage Regulator

Description

AVR R726 is a half-wave phase controlled thyristor type Auto Voltage Regulator and forms part of the excitation system for a brushless generator. In addition to regulating the generator voltage, the AVR circuitry includes under speed and sensing loss protection to ensure safe, reliable control of the generator. Positive voltage build up from residual levels is ensured by the use of proficient semiconductors in the power circuitry of the AVR. Which is linked with the main stator windings and the exciter field windings to offer closed loop control of the output voltage with load regulations of +/- 1.5%.
Functionality/Compatibility of the R726 Leroy-Somer Automatic Voltage Regulator
The Leroy-Somer R726 module has four primary functions: Helps regulate the voltage; Power Factor Regulation; Equalization of incoming voltages and Enables efficient parallel operations.

The regulator is comaptible with the R438, R448, R129/R128A, R129 voltage regulators.
Reasons for using the R726 Leroy-Somer Automatic Voltage Regulator
Power generators, as ones used by standby power systems, will have automatic voltage regulators to stabilise their voltages as the load on the generators fluctuates. Originally, AVRs for generators were electromechanical in nature, but a modern AVR uses solid-state devices. An AVR acts as an feedback control system that gauges the output voltage of the generator, compares that output to a set reference point, and generates an error signal that is used to adjust the excitation of the generator. As the excitation current in the field winding of the generator increases, its terminal voltage will increase. The AVR will control current by using power electronic devices; generally a fraction of the generator’s output is used to feed current for the field. Where a generator is connected in parallel with other sources such as an electrical transmission grid, changing the excitation has more of an effect on the reactive power produced by the generator than on its terminal voltage, which is mostly set by the connected power system.
