DATASHEET

R450 AVR
FOR SHUNT, AREP or PMG ALTERNATORS

CHARACTERISTICS

••Voltage regulation : ± 0.5 %.

••Under-speed protection by
function :
1) U/F (LAM : OFF).
(2) U/F (LAM : MODE1).
Auto-adaptating LAM + 2 U/F
(LAM : MODE 2).

••Nominal excitation current : 6A.

••Maximum excitation current :
10A during 10 s.

••Supply range 150V (50Hz/60Hz).

••Voltage détection : ≤ 530 V.
R450 is an analog AVR. It is designed for alternators with a SHUNT, AREP or PMG ••Protection : fuse fast 10A.
excitation. ••Protection on load, short-circuit
and voltage reference loss.
R450 controls the excitation current in order to maintain the output voltage of the
alternator. R450 is performant in terms of voltage regulation, simple to set , to use
and is reliable. Rotating switch for U/F, LAM, excitation type and voltage sensing
are available.

It is in compliance with I.E.C. 60034-1 standard and U.L. 508 / C.S.A. approved.
