MODULE R729
1. Presentation
1.1. Description
When combined with the R 449 or R 452 or R448, the R 729 has the following functions:
Regulation functions
- Regulates PF or kVAr when the alternator is in parallel with the mains (2F).
- Matches alternator voltage to the mains voltage before connection (3F). The alternator can be installed on
its own or in parallel with other alternators.
4/20mA function
- Receives a 4/20mA current in order to:
- replace the stator voltage, alternator PF or alternator kVAr set point,
- control the PF or kVAr at a precise point of the installation (mains PF).
Limitation
- Limits the no load or full load minimum excitation current.
- Limits the maximum excitation current when the alternator is short-circuited.
- Limits the stator current.
Fault detection
- detects stator over voltage.
- detects a faulty rotating diode.
- LED signalling of functions 3F, 2F(alternator PF), 2F(kVAr), mains PF and 4/20mA
- LED and contact signalling of a rotating diode fault, a stator over voltage, a minimum excitation current, a
maximum excitation current or a maximum stator current
- Absence of 4/20mA current signalled by contact
The board is encapsulated in a box. It can be mounted in the alternator terminal box.

Regulation functions
This function matches the alternator voltage to the mains voltage during a mains connection request. It
works with an alternator on its own or in parallel with other alternators.
To operate this function, close contact J2-11/12, the green LED 1 will light. This voltage is adjusted by
potentiometer P1. When the alternator is connected to the mains, open contact J2-11/12
This function controls the alternator PF when it is in parallel with the mains.
To activate this function, close contact J2-13/14, the green LED 2 will light. The PF is adjusted by
potentiometer P2 and its gain by P3
An external (10kQ-3W) setpoint potentiometer can be added to terminals J3-26/27/28, (place the cursor at
J3-27). It is connected to the regulator by a shielded cable with its shielding connected to terminal J3-23
(maximum length 50m)
This function regulates the alternator kVAr when it is in parallel with the mains.
To activate this function, close contacts J2-13/14 the J2-15/16, the green LEDs 2 and 3 will light. The kVAr is
adjusted by potentiometer P4 and its gain by P5.
An external (10kQ-3W) setpoint potentiometer can be added to terminals J3-26/27/28, (place the cursor at
J3-30). It is connected to the regulator by a shielded cable with its shielding connected to terminal J3-23
(Maximum length 50m).
Using a 4/20 mA current supplied by the user, this function can replace the stator voltage, PF or kVAr
setpoint. When this current is the matches the PF (or kVAr) at a particular point of the installation (mains PF),
it can be used to control it.
Each of these functions is activated by setting a jumper to the ON position.
Jumper CA1 inverts the 4/20mA signal.
Only one of these 4 functions can be selected at a time.
- The PF function is selected with jumper CA2
- The kVAr function is selected with jumper CA3
- The voltage function is selected with jumper CA4
- The copy mains PF function is selected with jumper CA5
P6 is the setpoint potentiometer for the selected function.
An external (10kQ-3W) setpoint potentiometer can be added to terminals J3-32/33/34, (place the cursor at
J3-33). It is connected to the regulator by a shielded cable with its shielding connected to terminal J3-23
(Maximum length 50m).

MODULE R729
The external voltage potentiometer of the R 449 or R 452 (470n for +/-5%Un and 1kn for +/-10%Un) is
transferred to terminals J3-24/25 of the R 729 when these are combined with the R729.
Limiting functions
This function only acts when the alternator is in parallel with the mains.
It controls the excitation current to adjust the amount of reactive power that the alternator can absorb at very
low load and at full load.
Potentiometer P10 adjusts the amount of reactive power that the alternator can absorb at very low load.
Potentiometer P9 adjusts the amount of reactive power that the alternator can absorb at full load.
The function is activated by setting jumper CA10 to the ON position and deactivated by setting it to the OFF
position
While the excitation current is limited, LED 10 (red) is lit and contact C10 is closed (terminals J4-41/42 ).
This function controls the excitation current to limit the alternator's stator current when in over-load or in the
event of repeated load surges. This limitation takes effect after a time delay of 10 seconds and at 110% of
the excitation current.
This threshold is adjusted with potentiometer P8.
The function is activated by setting jumper CAB to the ON position and deactivated by setting it to the OFF
position
While the excitation current is limited, LED 8 (red) is lit and contact CB is closed (terminals J4-39/40).
Note: When the alternator is short-circuited, the maximum excitation current is controlled with potentiometer
P5 on the R 449 or R 452 unit.

MODULE R729
This function limits the stator current (such as when starting-up large motors), by lowering the voltage (e.g.:
1.5xln).
This threshold is adjusted with potentiometer P7.
The function is activated by setting jumper CA7 to the ON position and deactivated by setting it to the OFF
position
While the stator current is limited, LED 7 (red) is lit and contact C7 is closed (terminals J4-37/38 ).
Fault detection
This function detects when the voltage exceeds a preset threshold value.
The threshold is adjusted with potentiometer P11.
When overvoltage occurs, LED 11 (red) is lit and contact C11 is closed (terminals J4-43/44 ).
Disconnect the stem of a diode from the rotating rectifier bridge and mechanically attach it to another
part of the bridge in such a way that the anode and the cathode of the diode are at the same potential.
Disconnect the wires from terminals J4-45/46 in order to avoid a fault tripping the unit. Run the
alternator at its rated speed and voltage. The alternator must remain at no-load. It can operate at no-
load with one branch of the rectifier bridge open. Adjust P12 so that LED 12 just lights. The detector is
now set.
Note: As the diode fault detector is powered by the alternator, the fault will no longer be indicated
when the alternator shuts down.
Note: Generally speaking, as the contacts and the LEDs are powered by the alternator, signalling will no
longer be maintained when the alternator shuts down.
