Power-Tronics Professional Series - Conversion from Shunt-Wound to Solid-State Regulation

16
Conversion From Older Shunt-Wound Voltage
Regulation to Modern Solid-State Voltage Regulation
It is possible to use the XR8 Universal Voltage regulator with older Shunt-Wound exciters that
originally had manual, mechanical, or series solid-state voltage regulators by converting the wiring as
in the diagrams below. If the generator will not build up after conversion, try switching your F+ and F-
leads at the regulator and try starting up again.
NOTE:
Armature brushes
MUST BE ISOLATED
from the field leads for
proper operation!
