4. OPERATING PRINCIPLE AND
CHARACTERISTICS OF VOLTAGE
REGULATION SYSTEM
TheBL4-U AVR
(AutomaticVoltageRegulator)
of HB-
IB series, is supplied by the auxiliary winding. AVR
acts on the exciter stator, directly controlling the field
generatedbythemainrotorbymeansofthesequence
exciterrotor-diodebridge-mainrotor.
Thevoltageregulatorcontrolsandkeepsconstantthe
voltageofonephase.
Alternatively, the generator can be equipped with
a digital regulator type (AVR RD2). The RD2 AVR

voltageofallthreephases.

5. GENERAL MECHANICAL AND
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
FOR COUPLING WITH ENGINE
As an independent unit, designed to be built into a
generating set, it is impossible to apply all the signal
decals on the generator during production. These
