gen set exiter/field regulator
gen set exiter/field regulator
(OP)
I have an American Marc/Kato gen set with a bad exiter/regulator. Unit is 35 years old, looking to replace it with solid state circuitry. Does anyone have generic schematics for this? Field voltage needed is 50-70 volts DC at approx. 5A to generate 120/208 3 phase. Static field resistance is approx. 10 ohms. I'm not sure what the min. exitation voltage is, but unit has 24 volt battery. I can adapt any usefull designs to work, just need a head start.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To create an automatic regulator, start with a design for a variable DC power supply and add a feedback loop to compare generator actual AC output voltage to setpoint. The info available at Basler should point you in the right direction.
BTW, did you look at the Basler AVC series regulator? Not sure of the pricing, but this range should be economical.
