Hi Bob, thanks for the reply (in line answers)
Good day Ernie, a very interesting question you have posted. You want to fit an AVR to a generator that outputs both 380 volt 3 phase at 50 Hz and also 220 volts at 50Hz. Your generator stator is wired in a Y configuration with the three phase coming off the three legs of the Y but you also have a fourth slip ring on the stator that comes off the centre of the Y, your 220 volts will be between that centre tap and one of the outer legs of the Y. I have never seen an AVR that could control both three phase output and single phase output, I am not saying that such a unit does not exist but if it does it might be very expensive.
Looks like i got from the power company 3 fase Nutral and earth. If an AVR can control the 380V part the 220V part is always good (1:1 relation 380:1.73=219.6)
I am curious to know why you want to fit an AVR, do you run a lot of very sensitive electronic devices? I ran a ST2 Generator with a single phase 7 KVA Brush generator for many years in Northern New South Wales, Australia, under no load it was dialed in to produce 240 volts at 50 HZ, at full load it would produce 235 volts at 49.7 HZ, not bad for a fifty year old generator set. I ran computers, TVs and all household electrical appliances off this unit without any problems
No i dont need a AVR ( i thougt it was the only way to go from 380V to 400V)
Personally, I would replace the old selenium rectifiers with modern silicon rectifiers. Ok
and then adjust the wire rheostats to get as close to your desired voltages as possible. Is the rheostats the only resister i can adjust, above post second picture? (Pentagon 2R0)
check that the governor mechanism is working correctly and leave it at that. I have to use goole for the governor mechanism
Are the 3 fixed resistors (Pentagon 2R0) to be replaced by 2R0 100 Watt resistors? (Pentagon 2R0 is on the resistor, 2R9 in real)
regards, Ernie
