[email protected] Voltage Regulator

INTRODUCTION
The SR Retrofit is an economical, direct replacement, for an existing Basler Electric SR voltage regulator. The SR
Retrofit contains either an AVC63-12 or AVC125-10 voltage regulator and, in some cases, an AVC sensing
module, both housed in a metal case. An internal sensing module is provided for 480/600 Vac nominal voltages.
Impedance matching for reactive differential compensation is handled internally without the need for external
resistors.
This product regulates the level of excitation supplied to the field of a conventional, brush or brushless type,
synchronous generator. Regulation is achieved by sensing the generator output voltage, converting it to a dc
signal, and comparing the signal to a reference voltage. An error signal is developed and used to control the dc
field power in order to maintain a constant generator output.
An accessory input provides compatibility with devices such as var/power factor controllers or excitation limiters.
The external device connected to the accessory input provides a signal to correct for vars/power factor and
change the excitation level.

MOUNTING
The SR Retrofit is enclosed in a metal case and may be mounted in any convenient position. The SR Retrofit may
be mounted directly on a generator or synchronous motor using UNC ¼-20 or equivalent hardware. Hardware
selection should be based on any expected shipping/transportation and operating conditions. The torque applied
to the mounting hardware should not exceed 65 in-lb (7.34 N•m). Figure 5 shows SR Retrofit dimensions in
inches with millimeters in brackets. An SR Retrofit can be installed in the same space previously occupied by a
Basler Electric SR regulator without the need for additional mounting holes and/or hardware.

CONNECTIONS
Internal Connections
Connections for the internal AVC regulator and sensing module are described in the following paragraphs. The
cover on the SR Retrofit must be removed to access the AVC regulator and sensing module. Use a Torx®, T10
screwdriver to remove the six screws that secure the cover. Remove the cover. After setting the unit, re-attach the
cover with the six screws and tighten to 8 to 10 in-lb (0.902 to 1.128 N•m).
Internal Jumpers
Internal jumpers are used to enable/disable the accessory input, external voltage adjust, 2 x pickup V/Hz, and
single- or three-phase voltage sensing.
Accessory Input
The accessory input provides support for the EL 200, SCP 250, and BE3-25A.
Remove the jumper on AVC terminals 2 and 3. Connect wires from terminals 2 and 3 to the proper terminals on
the accessory unit as shown in Figure 6. Route the wires so that they are not smashed or pinched when re-
attaching the cover on the SR Retrofit.
Figure 6 illustrates the internal AVC regulator, EL 200, SCP 250, BE3-25A interconnection.

Figure 6. Interconnection with EL 200, SCP 250, and BE3-25A

External Voltage Adjust
The external voltage adjust input is used when remote adjustment of the voltage is desired. When this jumper is
installed, the internal VLT ADJ control is used to adjust the voltage. Remove the jumper on AVC terminals 4 and 7
to enable external voltage adjust. Move the jumper from terminal 7 to the U-shaped quick connect on terminal 4.
The U-shaped quick connect serves as jumper storage should the jumper be required in the future.
See External Voltage Adjust under External Connections for information on connecting a rheostat.
1 or 2 Per Unit V/Hz
When this jumper is installed, the underfrequency slope is 1 per unit V/Hz. Remove the jumper on AVC terminals
6a and 8 to enable 2 per unit V/Hz. Move the jumper from terminal 6a to the U-shaped quick connect on terminal
8. The U-shaped quick connect serves as jumper storage should the jumper be required in the future.
Single- or Three-Phase Voltage Sensing
When this jumper is installed, the regulator is configured for three-phase sensing. Install the jumper on AVC
terminals 6a and 9 to enable three-phase sensing. Move the jumper from the U-shaped quick connect on terminal
9 to the quick connect on terminal 6a. The regulator is configured for single-phase sensing when the jumper is
NOT installed on terminals 6a and 9.
AVC Sensing Module (480/600 Vac Sensing Only)
An internal sensing module is included with SR Retrofits utilizing 480/600 Vac sensing. SR Retrofits with 480/600
Vac sensing are shipped preset for 480 Vac sensing.
If your application uses 600 Vac sensing, the sensing module connections must be adjusted. To configure the unit
for 600 Vac sensing, move the wire from the A3 terminal to the B3 terminal, the A1 terminal to the B1 terminal,
and the A2 terminal to the B2 terminal.

AVC sensing module terminals are shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. AVC Sensing Module Terminals

External Connections
The SR Retrofit must be connected to the generator system as instructed in this section and as shown in the
basic interconnection diagrams (Figures 8 and 9). All connections to the SR Retrofit should be made with 16
AWG (or larger) copper wire.
Ground Terminal
Use a Torx® T15 screwdriver to connect the ground terminal, located on the bottom of the SR Retrofit case, to
earth ground with 16 AWG (or larger) copper wire. Tighten to 8 to 10 in-lb (0.902 to 1.128 N•m). When the SR
Retrofit is configured in a system with other devices, a separate ground lead should be used for each device.
Regulator Sensing (Terminals E1, E2, and E3)
For single-phase sensing, the voltage sensing leads are connected to terminals E1 and E3. For three-phase
sensing, terminals E1, E2, and E3 are used. For precise regulation, the sensing leads should be connected as
close as possible to the point where regulation is desired. The SR Retrofit regulates the voltage that is applied to
its sensing terminals. Therefore, it cannot correct for voltage drop in leads that may occur at points other than
where the regulator sensing leads are connected. The leads that supply regulator sensing should not be used to
supply power to any other equipment or to the regulator power stage (terminals 3 and 4).
If the generator is to be operated in parallel with other generators, the phase relationship of the sensing voltage
and the paralleling current transformer is very important. See Parallel Compensation for more information.
Field Power (Terminals F+ and F−)
The dc resistance of the field to which the SR Retrofit is connected (terminals F+ and F−) must be equal to or
greater than 9 ohms for models 9507900100 through 9507900105 and 18 ohms for models 9507900106 through
9507900111. If the field resistance is less than the specified minimum, a resistor must be added in series with the
field. This resistor value plus the field resistance must exceed the minimum preceding values.
Input Power (Terminals 3 and 4)
The current requirement of the field, to which the regulator is operating into, will determine the actual input
current. The nominal voltage applied to the regulator input power stage (terminals 3 and 4) must be 120 V for the
SR4A and SR6A, and either 208 or 240 V for the SR8A and SR9A. The input power may be taken from any
generator lines that provide the correct voltage (line-to-line or line-to-neutral). The phase relationship of this input
in relation to other circuits is not important.
When the generator output voltage is different than the preceding values and exceeds the output power
specifications, a power transformer must be used to match the generator voltage to the regulator input. If
excessive voltage is applied to the regulator input (terminals 3 and 4), the regulator may be damaged.

Caution
If the field or field flashing circuit is grounded, a power transformer must be
used to isolate the regulator input from ground. A ground at any point in the
field circuit and another ground in the generator could result in failure of the
regulator.
Voltage Shutdown Switch
A voltage shutdown switch may be installed to allow removal of excitation from the field in an emergency or when
the generator prime mover must be operated at reduced speed. If this switch is not used, it is recommended that
it be temporarily installed for the initial startup.

Publication Revision Date Page

9507900990 None Instructions 02/16 6 of 14

When used, this switch must always be installed in the input power line to the regulator (terminal 3 or 4) or in the
dc field circuit (terminal F+ or F−).
Interconnecting with Brush-Type Rotary Exciters
When making connections on brush-type rotary exciter applications, it is very important to observe the polarities
of the exciter field, exciter output, and the generator field as shown in Figure 8. If these polarities are not known,
the system should be operated on manual voltage control and the polarities determined before connecting the
voltage regulator into the system. The voltage regulator could be damaged if interconnection is attempted before
this data is known.
When manual voltage control is desired on brush-type exciter applications, a MANUAL-OFF-AUTO switch and a
field rheostat are used. See Figure 8.
Parallel Compensation (Terminals 1 and 2)
In addition to the regulator provisions, a 25 VA current transformer (CT) is required. See Figures 8 and 9. This CT
is connected in a generator line and should deliver from 3 to 5 A secondary current at rated load.
The phase relationship of the CT signal to the regulator sensing voltage must be correct or the system will not
parallel properly. For three-phase sensing, the CT must be installed in the line that supplies sensing voltage to
terminal E2. For single-phase sensing, it must be installed in the line of the three-phase generator that does not
supply sensing to the regulator.
Figures 8 and 9 show the correct CT polarity for A-B-C phase rotation sequence. If the phase rotation sequence is
A-C-B, the CT’s secondary leads must be interchanged.
Reactive Droop Compensation (Droop)
For reactive droop compensation, connect the CT to its respective regulator as shown in Figures 8 and 9.
A unit-parallel switch shorts the parallel CT secondary to prevent any droop signal from being injected into the
regulating system during single-unit operation. The switch may not be required on parallel droop compensation
applications where a voltage drop is not objectionable.
External Voltage Adjust (Terminals 6 and 7)
Voltage can be adjusted using the onboard VLT ADJ control or through the external voltage adjust input. If the
external voltage adjust input will be used, connect a 2-watt, 10-kΩ rheostat across terminals 6 and 7. Refer to the
interconnection diagrams (Figures 8 and 9) to ensure that clockwise rotation increases the setpoint and counter-
clockwise rotation decreases the setpoint. See External Voltage Adjust under Internal Connections for information
on enabling external voltage adjust.

Reactive Differential Compensation (Cross Current)
In parallel reactive differential compensation applications, a contact should be used to short out the paralleling CT
secondary when the generator is not paralleled to the bus. If the switch is not used, a voltage droop will be
introduced into the system. This is due to the unloaded generator parallel CT not supplying its compensating
signal, but allowing a voltage drop to occur across it. Lack of this shorting contact will also cause the voltage of
the incoming generator to fluctuate prior to paralleling. Ideally, this contact is an auxiliary on the circuit breaker
contactor that opens when the circuit breaker is closed.
For reactive differential compensation, connect each CT to its respective regulator. Then connect the finish of the
first CT to the start of the second CT, the finish of the second CT to the start of the third CT, and so on. Continue
until all CTs are connected in series. The final step is to connect the finish of the last CT to the start of the first CT.
See Figure 10.
The SR Retrofit does not require external burden resistors when connected in a cross-current configuration with
other SR regulators. Internal burden resistance achieves a 25 VA burden.
Reactive differential compensation cannot be used when paralleled with the utility or any infinite bus. If this
compensation system is used, a switching circuit must be used to convert the system to a reactive droop
compensation system. Contact Basler Electric for additional information.

CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
SR Retrofit controls are located on the front panel. See Figure 11. SR Retrofit controls and adjustments are
described in the following paragraphs.

Publication Revision Date Page

9507900990 None Instructions 02/16 10 of 14

 Figure 11. SR Retrofit Controls

A. STB − Stability
An oscilloscope or other voltage recording device should be used if an optimal stability setting is desired. Adjust
the stability setting with the generator at no load.
Clockwise rotation of the STB control will slow response time. Counterclockwise rotation will speed response
time. If rotated too far counterclockwise, the generator voltage may oscillate (hunt).
To obtain good response, rotate the STB control counterclockwise until the system just begins to oscillate. Then,
rotate the control clockwise just past the point where oscillation occurred. Apply various amounts of load to
determine proper stability performance.
B. UF KNEE − Frequency Rolloff
The underfrequency knee (rolloff) is typically set below the nominal system frequency. When the generator speed
falls below the knee setpoint of the regulator, generator voltage is reduced proportionally to the speed of the
machine. To adjust the underfrequency knee, perform the following steps.
1. Adjust the generator frequency at the nominal level (50, 60, or 400 Hz).
2. Adjust the UF KNEE control fully counterclockwise.
3. Adjust the VLT ADJ control for nominal generator voltage.
4. Adjust the UF KNEE control clockwise until the voltage begins to decrease.
5. Adjust the UF KNEE control counterclockwise until the voltage just returns to the value set in step 3.
The underfrequency knee is now set just below the nominal operating frequency. Further rotation in the
counterclockwise direction will lower the knee frequency setpoint at which underfrequency compensation just
begins.
Connecting a jumper from terminal 8 to 6a on the internal AVC regulator will provide an underfrequency slope of
1 per unit V/Hz. No connection to terminal 8 will result in an underfrequency slope of 2 per unit V/Hz. The slope
can also be selected on the 400 Hz models. However, the actual V/Hz curve is approximately 1 per unit or 2 per
unit, depending if terminal 8 is jumpered to 6a on the internal AVC. Refer to Connections for information on
setting the internal jumper.
C. VLT ADJ − Voltage Adjust
Installation of a jumper across terminals 4 and 7 on the internal AVC regulator enables the front-panel VLT ADJ
control to vary the generator nominal voltage over the operating range. Refer to Connections for information on
setting the internal jumper.
D. FAC CAL − Factory Calibration

Caution
The FAC CAL control is intended for use during factory calibration only. The
following procedure can be used if the factory calibration has been disturbed.

1. With the regulator operating on a generator, adjust the FAC CAL control fully counterclockwise and the
external voltage adjust control fully clockwise.

Publication Revision Date Page

9507900990 None Instructions 02/16 11 of 14

2. Adjust the FAC CAL control clockwise until the generator voltage reaches the desired maximum voltage
setting. The regulator is calibrated and the FAC CAL control can be sealed.
E. DRP − Parallel Droop Compensation
Variable parallel droop compensation levels can be obtained by adjusting the DRP control. Clockwise rotation
increases the amount of droop for a given condition.
Line Drop Compensation
When the sensing input CT connections are reversed to provide line drop compensation, the droop adjustment
becomes the line drop compensation adjustment.
STARTUP
A startup and troubleshooting procedure for the SR Retrofit is listed in the following paragraphs. Symptoms of
startup problems stemming from improper regulator adjustments and certain generator system problems that
resemble faulty regulation are listed with possible solutions. Simplifying the system by eliminating components,
such as remote adjustment potentiometers and other nonessential items, can be helpful in the troubleshooting
process.
1. Ensure that the regulator has been installed in accordance with the Mounting and Connections paragraphs
before proceeding with system startup.
2. Start the prime mover and bring it up to rated speed.
If the voltage does not build up:
a. Flash the field.
b. Remove power for one minute to reset the overexcitation circuit.
3. Slowly adjust the VOLT ADJ potentiometer or external, voltage adjust rheostat until the voltage reaches
nominal.
If the voltage will not build up to the rated voltage, check the generator output for a shorted or excessive load.
4. Apply and remove the generator load to check stability.
If the generator response is too slow or is hunting (oscillating):
a. Check the generator output for a shorted or excessive load. Adjust the STB potentiometer with no load
applied.
b. Check stability of the governor.
5. Check regulation under normal operating conditions.
If the regulation is poor:
a. Check that the prime mover is up to rated speed.
b. Check that the voltmeter is connected at the same point as the regulator sensing.
c. Use an average-sensing voltmeter (not an rms-sensing voltmeter).
6. Reduce the generator frequency. The generator output should decrease from this point.
If the generator output voltage does not decrease at the desired frequency:
a. Check that all wiring is in accordance with the connection diagrams provided in this instruction sheet.
b. Adjust the UF KNEE control.
ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are available for use with the SR Retrofit. Information covering these accessories may
be obtained by consulting the applicable instruction manual and product bulletin, or by contacting your nearest
Basler Electric Sales representative or the factory.
Refer to Connections for information on setting internal jumpers and connecting wires to the accessory input on
the internal AVC regulator.
External Voltage Adjust
The optional external voltage adjust is used when remote adjustment of the voltage is desired. The 175-Ω
rheostat previously used with the SR cannot be used with the SR Retrofit. If the external voltage adjust input will
be used, replace the 175-Ω rheostat with a 2-watt, 10-kΩ rheostat.

Var/Power Factor Controller − SCP 250
The Basler SCP 250 controls generator power factor or vars by monitoring the voltage and current and supplying
a control input to the accessory input on the internal AVC regulator.
When the SCP 250 is controlling vars, the voltage regulator output changes to attain the selected reactive load
current. When the SCP 250 is controlling power factor, the voltage regulator adjusts the excitation until the
selected power factor is obtained.
The SCP 250 monitors the open/closed state of the circuit breaker so that the voltage regulator controls excitation
when the breaker is open and the SCP 250 controls excitation when the breaker is closed.
Excitation Limiter − EL 200
The Basler EL 200 performs two functions. As a maximum excitation limiter, it senses the field current output of
the voltage regulator and limits the field current to prevent overheating of the field. As a minimum excitation
limiter, it senses the leading reactive power (var) output of the generator and limits any further decrease in
excitation (as necessary) to prevent loss of synchronization and end iron heating during parallel operation.
When the minimum or maximum excitation level is exceeded, the EL 200 provides a signal into the accessory
input on the internal AVC regulator to change the excitation level.
Exciter Diode Monitor − EDM-200
The Basler EDM-200 connects to the exciter field circuit and monitors the output of the brushless exciter power
semiconductors. The EDM-200 can detect and open or shorted power rectifier in a brushless exciter. A set of
Form C contacts provides alarm annunciation. A bar graph display enables easy onsite calibration and monitoring
of EDM-200 operation.
Auto Synchronizer − BE3-25A
The Basler BE3-25A, equipped with voltage matching and a summing point output, provides precise matching of
the generator voltage to the bus prior to synchronization.
The BE3-25A provides a bipolar correction signal to the accessory input on the internal AVC regulator when the
voltage difference between the generator and bus exceeds the front panel setting. This bipolar correction signal is
proportional to the magnitude of the monitored voltage difference.
Manual Voltage Control − MVC 112
The Basler MVC 112 provides a method for manually controlling the generator output during generator startup
and commissioning or in the unlikely event of a regulator failure.
Excitation Support System − SBO
The Basler SBO provides motor starting and fault clearing capabilities for a generator with a brushless exciter.
The Excitation Support System enables a brushless generator to be used in an application that would normally
require a conventional generator with a brush-type rotary or series-boost exciter.
Current Boost System − CBS 212A
With the Basler CBS 212A installed, if the generator output voltage decreases below the preset operating point
due to a short-circuit or large motor starting, the CBS 212A provides full current boost to the generator exciter
until the voltage returns to a level just above the operating point.

To test regulator operation, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the SR Retrofit according to Figure 12 and apply the appropriate voltages.
2. Adjust the VLT ADJ control fully counterclockwise. Observe that the lamp is off.
3. Adjust the VLT ADJ control clockwise. Observe that the lamp turns on.
4. Adjust the VLT ADJ control until the lamp just turns off.
Regulator operation is satisfactory if the above results are obtained. However, stability must be tested with the
generator and regulator in operation.

Figure 12. Test Setup

MAINTENANCE
A periodic inspection of the regulator should be made to ensure that it is clean and free from accumulations of
dust and moisture. Ensure that all connections are clean and tight.
