The equipment we are using these days requires a lot of electric energy. The whole workspace is based on the appliances that use electricity to function. The main issue that we face with these electrical appliances is that though they are designed to take the pressure of power surges etc. in most of the cases the short term or long term damage to the sensitive parts of the machinery in not avoidable.
It is important to have a barrier between the power supply and the equipment so that they do not get affected by high or low voltage.
Digital AVR (Automated Voltage Regulators) and their applications
These voltage controllers are generally used in small setups. They are designed to take control over the output of a brushless excited synchronized generator. It is very common to install the generators in a rugged environment. The controller should be designed in such a way that it does not get affected by high or low temperature and humidity. These small regulators are very flexible as well. They have jumper selection option for single or three phase sensing.
These Digital AVR provides the ability to shed power load. They help in recovering generator speed and prevent damage that can be caused by the generator. They also help the machinery to pick up the critical load. In the case of over excitation, the regulator shut downs the generator and saves it from damage. Most of the regulators come in Plug and Play format thus the replacement or installation is very simple.
Digital Excitation and Control Systems and their applications
These voltage controllers known as Digital Excitation System are used in larger setups like power plants or generators which serve whole buildings. These are versatile control systems designed for synchronous generators and motors. These are ideal for new and retrofit applications. Most of the control systems can be customized and thus can provide solutions engineered to meet a wide variety of applications.
There are a number of protective functions integrated into the controller. These functions mainly avoid system damage caused by power surges. These controllers improve system reliability and stability by coordinating dual setting groups to match system conditions. In short, these controls avoid costly generator damage and help in improving the overall system performance.
