AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATORS

PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR TYPE
STAMFORD Automatic Voltage Regulators are designed and built to achieve maximum performance from the STAMFORD
range of brushless ac generators. Self excited and separately excited with shaft mounted Permanent Magnet Generator
(PMG) types are available, with a choice of specifications. All AVR’s are encapsulated to provide protection against moisture,
salt and sand in the atmosphere, and mounted on anti-vibration mounts for mechanical protection from engine vibrations.
SELF EXCITED
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE
REGULATORS
(“S” PREFIX)
STAMFORD AVR’s for self excited generators receive their power direct from the generator
output terminals, and control generator output voltage through continual automatic adjustment
of the main rotor field strength.
SX460
The SX460 is the standard AVR offered with generators in the
lower power bands, achieving voltage regulation in the order of
+1.0*%. A feature of this (and all STAMFORD AVR’s) is that
output voltage is reduced with speed below the normal
operating level, to assist the engine or prime mover to recover
after sudden application of a heavy load.
This is an ideal choice for applications where a generator is set
to be run in a stand-alone application where no specialist
requirements exist.
AS440
The AS440 has all the features of the SX460, additionally
achieving voltage regulation of +1.0%*. A current transformer
can be supplied with the AS440 to provide quadrature voltage
droop for parallel operation. A power factor controller can be
fitted for parallel operation with the mains utility.This AVR will
also work with an auxiliary winding to support a short circuit. A
three phase sensing unit can be used in conjunction
*With 4% engine governing.
This AVR will also work with an auxiliary winding to support a

short circuit. A three phase sensing unit can be used in
conjunction
PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR TYPE

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
(“M” PREFIX)
For the ultimate in control, an AVR designed to operate with the STAMFORD Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG)
system is often specified. In this design, the AVR receives its power from a separate source in the form of a small PMG,
mounted on the end of the main generator shaft. The advantage of this is the AVR power source is not affected by
sudden loads applied to the generator, hence the excitation remains at full strength, providing superior motor starting
and short circuit performance.
MX341 MX321
The MX341 achieves voltage regulation of +1.0%*, The MX321 has all the features of the MX341,
through the use of the PMG system. Protection against additionally achieving voltage regulation of 0.5%* with
sustained over-excitation is standard on this AVR, as is a 3 phase RMS sensing, built in overvoltage protection
special engine relief load acceptance feature which and optional short circuit current level adjustment.
enables full load to be applied in a single step. The combination of PMG providing an isolated power
MX321 source and the MX321’s RMS sensing makes an ideal
arrangement for supplying the non-linear loads such as
*With 4% engine governing supplies for computers or variable speed motors etc.
