    VR505A VOLTAGE REGULATOR

    GENERAL INFORMATION
    The VR505A Voltage Regulator is designed for new
    and replacement applications on any model or
    manufacture of generator that requires a full load
    exciter field input of less than 5 adc and a maximum
    exciter voltage of more than 105 vdc, less than 210
    vdc and operates between 50 and 60 hz. The VR505A
    Voltage Regulator contains a patented electronic
    circuit that allows the regulator to actually be
    matched to the exciter response time of a generator.
    This feature enables the user to adjust the VR505A to
    operate on all types of generator fields and kw
    ranges without any special wiring, transformers or
    resistors.

    A unique feature of the VR505A regulator is that It can


    be used with optional static exciter modules that can
    replace all types of high amperage rotary and static
    exciter systems from 30 to 600 adc simply by This feature makes the VR505A Voltage Regulator truly a
    connecting the VR505A to the exciter module with 3 universal voltage regulating system that is simple,
    small wires! affordable and reliable!

    INSTALLATION:
    1. Install wiring as show above. For best results on fields requiring a full load voltage of more
    than 120 vdc, connect the unit up with a 240 vac input. For fields requiring less than 120 vdc,
    connect the unit up with a 120 vac input. It is always recomended to install a 2 pole single
    throw run/idle switch in the input to terminals #1and #2 especially if the prime mover is going to
    operate at less than 50/60 hz.

    2. If an external voltage adjustment is used, connect it to terminals 5 and 6. If you are not
    going to use an external voltage adjustment, short terminals 5 and 6 to each other.

    3. Turn all adjustment pots counter clockwise 10 or more turns. These adjustment pots are
    25 turn with protective ratchets at each end.

    4. Turn run/idle switch to off and start up the prime mover and bring up to rated rpm of the
    generator.

    5. Turn on run/idle switch and turn the voltage adjustment on the regulator clockwise
    until the output voltage of the generator is at 80% of rated voltage.

    6. If the voltage is not stable, turn the stability adjustment clockwise until the voltage
    becomes stable. If the voltage rises during this process, keep it within 80% of rated voltage with
    the voltage adjustment.

    7. If the voltage is stable and there is no flickering, adjust the voltage adjustment clockwise
    until the desired output voltage is obtained.

    8. Place generator on line and observe voltage.
