Product catalog summary
Overview: The Digital Voltage Regulator D-Vo is a microprocessor-based device designed to manage the electrical parameters of synchronous generators. It features a PWM power stage for exciter power supply and supports interfacing via Modbus protocol and proprietary software.
Key Features:
  • Compatible with generators ≥800 frame size and all HV generators.
  • Four operating modes: Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), Power Factor Regulation (PF), Reactive Power Regulation (VAR), and Field Current Regulation (FCR).
  • Configurable stability parameters and soft start with adjustable ramp in AVR mode.
  • Parallel operation with Reactive Droop Compensation.
  • Comprehensive generator protections including over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and loss of sensing.
  • Excitation limiters, watchdog, under-frequency limiter, and Fault Ride Through (FRT) detection and management.
  • Certifications: CE, UL, and VDE-AR-N-4110 grid code compliance.
Inputs and Outputs:
  • Voltage and current sensing for 1-ph or 3-ph generators and grid.
  • Three auxiliary analogue inputs and nine digital contacts (eight programmable).
  • PWM output with a maximum of 10A continuous and 20A forcing for 10 seconds.
  • Three configurable output relays for alarms and FRT.
Power Supply and Connection:
  • Supports single-phase and three-phase connections with various power sources including shunt, auxiliary winding, PMG, and separate AC/DC sources.
  • Voltage range: AC up to 250Vac and DC up to 300Vdc.

Catalog excerpts

D-Vo digital regulator-1

The new Digital Voltage Regulator D-Vo is an electronic microprocessor-based device which manages the operating electrical parameters of synchronous generators. The power supply to the exciter is through a PWM power stage. The D-Vo AVR can be interfaced and programmed using the standard Modbus communication protocol and a proprietary PC application supplied by Marelli Motori. The new D-Vo regulator is a standard feature of all generators >800 frame size and all HV (std) generators, it is also compatible with any Marelli Motori generator.
