3 - TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 - Electrical characteristics
- maximum power supply: 150V - 50/60 Hz
- Rated overload current: 10 A - 10 s
- Electronic protection:
- In the case of a short-circuit, the excitation
current is reduced to a value less than 1A
after 10 s
- In the event of loss of voltage reference,
the excitation current is reduced to a value
less than 1A after 1s for AREP/SHUNT, 10 s
for PMG.
- In the event of overexcitation, the current
is reduced as indicated in the next diagram
(see 3.2.1.4).
- Fuses: F1 on X1 and F2 on Z2 10A, 250V.
- Voltage sensing
R 450 M: single-phase connection to V and
W. Rotating switch set to Voltage 80V 320V
R 450 T: three-phase connection to U, V and
W. Rotating switch set to Voltage 320V 530V
For other voltages, a transformer should be
used.
- Voltage regulation: 0.5%.
- Current sensing: (parallel operation): input
S1, S2 intended for 1 C.T. < 2.5 VA cl1,
secondary 1 A or 5 A.
3.2 - Configurations
3.2.1 - Settings
3.2.1.1 - Voltage
Voltage adjustment via potentiometer P1 in
the ranges described in the table below:
For 50 and 60 Hz
High range
Medium range
Max.
Un 530 V
Un 252 V
WARNING
The allowed adjustment range is 5%;
when the setting exceeds these limits,
please check that it is conform with the
power table.
8
WARNING
The CT must be connected.
3.2.1.3 - Stability:
Stability adjustment via potentiometer P2.
Selection of rotating switch according to the
machine type and the response time as
indicated in paragraph 3.2.3.
3.2.1.4 - Excitation limitation:
Excitation limitation adjustment via
potentiometer P3 as described below.
The excitation current limitation threshold in
steady state is set by a potentiometer at
110% of the rated value. The adjustment is
made by the operator during the on-load test
at rated power by tuning the potentiometer.
When the excitation current exceeds this
value, a counter is activated at the speed of
one record per second for 90 s. When this
time is elapsed, the current is reduced to the
value of the rated excitation current. If in the
meantime the excitation current drops
below the threshold value, the counter
counts down at the same speed.
4342 en - 2015.09 / g
R 450 M & T
A.V.R.
WARNING
The limitation threshold must be
adjustable between 1 and 5.5 A. The
genset breaker must be open during the
short circuit. If the genset is restarted in
short circuit, there is a excitation build
up during 10s again at the maximum
value.
Operation between 3 and 6 In when
short-circuited:
The excitation current ceiling during a
short-circuit equals 2.9 times the fixed
threshold when setting the permitted
excitation ceiling in continuous operation.
When the threshold is exceeded for a period
= 10 s the current is reduced to a value
between 0.5 and 0.7 A (shutdown).
NB: Even if the AVR is limiting the exciter
field current to a value less than 1A, the
generator will continue to supply the fault

Red LED:
- Lights up simultaneously with the green led
when the continuous operation threshold is
reached for more than 90 s and the excitation

excitation current ceiling
- Turns off when the excitation current is less
than the setting value
- Flashes when the excitation current is
above the continuous operation threshold
during less than 90 s.
When the green led is off :
-flashes in a case of loss of voltage sensing
<1s or 10s for PMG excitation.
-turns on if Iex= Ishutdown.

WARNING
In the case of overload protection
activation, a voltage drop will appear
with a value sometimes higher than 10%
of the reference voltage.
The UnderVoltage protection is not
achieved by the AVR. Customer must
ensure that his installation load is
correctlyprotectedagainstundervoltage.
During load rejection, the overvoltage is
observed and takes a few seconds to be
cleared.
