About Automatic Start
« on: August 20, 2009, 05:48:14 AM »
Hello,
 I plan to use a genset controller that has automatic starter disengage when the generated frequency. (see earlier post:  )

I plan to disconnect the automatic voltage regulator with the main breaker. I plan to start the generator with the main breaker off. It is necessary though that some voltage be generated for the speed sense.it is my understanding that there is residual magnetism in the rotor this is what initially starts the generator's exciter field. I wonder if anyone who has a alternator like mine can find out what voltage it produces at 700 RPM with the AVR disconnected.

My generator is a TFW-24 3 phase 120/208 volt from Yancheng Best Engine Manufacturing Company.

Before we do this can someone knowledgeable confirm that disconnecting AVR will not damage it?
