AVR stands for Automatic Voltage Regulator for generator. Most AVR work by automatically comparing the sensed voltage with the reference setting generator output voltage then diverting the input current to the exciter circuit. Some AVR circuit are configured in parallel connection with the exciter stator winding, When it sense below rated set voltage, more current is feed to the exciter to catch up the voltage difference until it would reach equilibrium again, when it is within rated voltage less current is feed to the exciter or more current is diverted to the AVR circuit. Some AVR has manual remote voltage trim or control to manually raise or lower the set voltage. The AVR works also during parallel operation by regulating voltage and controlling load Ampere (load sharing capability), the power factor (PF) and VAR (Volt-Amps Reactive).

∙ 11y agoAn AVR generator is one that uses an Automatic Voltage Regulator to maintain a constant voltage and present a waveform more similar to the ones you get from city power. They are an improvement over brushless generators but not as good as the newer inverter generators that can produce almost perfect sine wave waveforms. The difference is how well they run sensitive electronics. Most AVR generators are ok for most electronics, but they do put more of a strain on them and can cause more risk of damage.

What is avr in turbo generator in thermal power plant?
AVR stands for automatic voltage regulator.
How does AVR on generator work?
The function of AVR is to automatically regulate the voltage of Generators. As the terminal voltage of a generators drops the AVR boosts the voltage.
What are the causes of failure of self excited generator?
there is problem in AVR and magnetic strength.
What happens at the rated value of the voltage of the generator?
The rated voltage of a generator decreases due to many causes such as armature reaction, overloading of the generator and AVR failure/ weak excitation voltage.
What is the function of the governor of a generator and how exactly is it different from the AVR?
Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) : Depends on the generator output voltage & out put current/Kvar it will change the exciter voltage. Change in excitation voltage controls the reactive power (Kvar). whereas, a Governor controls the fuel supply to primemover(Engine) in order to control the speed of generator, change in speed (rpm) also controls Active power (KW).
How do you conduct megger test on alternator?
isolate the avr unit,and,then,check,the ,phases,w.r.t. earth,and,make sure,that,the generator,is in dead condition,i,e,,it is not running.
How does the avr automatically maintain a constant voltage level in a generator?
The AVR (automatic voltage regulator) measures the generator voltage output and varies the field voltage (which varies the strength of the rotating magnetic field) to maintain a fixed output voltage. Some generators excite (power) the AVR and field windings from the main stator, some provide a separate stator winding just for field excitation, and others provide a separate stator winding and rotating permanent magnets (called PMG) for field excitation. The generators that do not have permanent magnets rely on residual magnetism for the initial voltage to start the system or may provide initial voltage from the engine's starting battery.
How do you burn atmega32 avr program?
avr microcontroller can be burnt by using a burner with variety of softwares like AVR BURN O MAT....
What is the use of SCM ct in generator?
SCM CT is a normal CT which is connected in two phase of the turbines & its terminals are connected to the AVR. Depending on the load on the turbine the current increases & accordingly it gives the input to the AVR so as to develop the required field to generate the same load without any dip in the voltage.
Does the Denon AVR 1312 have HDMI pass through on standby?
No. This feature available on AVR-1612 and higher.
What practical steps are taken to ensure that voltage at generator terminals under varying voltage conditions remains constant?
The AVR (automatic voltage regulator) can generally be set to maintain a constant output voltage or a constant power output. This device controls the field current; as field current increases, the back emf on the generator will cause it to slow down. At this point the generator's governor will open up some valves, increasing power to the prime mover (whatever is making the generator spin), which will keep the generator spinning at its' ideal speed. The exact opposite occurs when the field current is decreased. The AVR monitors terminal or system voltage, and makes decisions based on its' settings to ramp up, ramp down, or keep the field current constant.
