hi all
I am planning to change an obsolete stamford avr (series 3 part number 450-11700) with datakom product avr 8 automatic voltage regulator for old 250 kva cummin generator set. this is because we need the generator working as soon as possible and we don't have the compatible avr at hand.(avr-8 can work with generator of this capacity)
The problem is that the stamford avr get the supply from the permanent magnet generator at the end of the alternator and sensing voltage from the main stator.but since the datakom avr don't support the permanent magnet generator i am planning to use the datakom avr without the permanent magnet generator out put connected with only the sensing from the main stator out put (which also used as supply for the avr) and by connecting the excitation terminal connected to the excitation out put of the avr.
Will it work properly?
best regards
