VOLTAGE REGULATOR:

Atypical Voltage Regulator is shown in Figure 3-6 (12.5 & 15 kW Units) or Figure 3-7 (17.5 kW Units). Unregulated AC output from the stator excitation winding is delivered to the regulator’s DPE termi- nals, via Wire 2, the Excitation Circuit Breaker and Wire 162, and Wire 6. The Voltage Regulator recti- fies that current and, based on stator AC power winding sensing, regulates it. The rectified and regulated excitation current is then delivered to the rotor windings from the positive (+) and negative (-) regulator terminals, via Wire 4 and Wire 0. Stator AC power winding “sensing” is delivered to the reg- ulator “SEN” terminals via Wires 11S and 44S.

The regulator provides “over-voltage” protection, but does not protect against “under-voltage”. On occur- rence of an “over-voltage” condition, the regulator will “shut down” and complete loss of excitation current to the rotor will occur. Without excitation current, the generator AC output voltage will drop to approximately one-half (or lower) of the unit’s rated voltage.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (12.5 and 15 kW Units):

The Voltage Regulator is equipped with three light emitting diodes (LED’s). These LED’s are normally on during operation with no faults in the system The RED regulator LED is on when the regulator is on and functioning. The Yellow sensing LED is powered by sensing input to the regulator from the stator AC power windings. The GREEN excitation LED is pow- ered by stator excitation winding output.

Four adjustment potentiometers are provided. They are VOLTAGE ADJUST, GAIN, STABILITY, and

UNDERFREQUENCY ADJUST.

1.Connect an AC Voltage/Frequency meter across wires 11 & 44 at the 50A Main circuit breaker. Verify frequency is between 59-61Hz.

2.On the regulator, set the adjustment pots as follows.

a.Voltage Adjust – Pot-turn fully counterclockwise

b.Gain – turn to midpoint (12 O’clock)

c.Stability – turn to midpoint (12 O’clock)

d.Under Frequency – turn to midpoint (12 O’clock)

3.Start the generator. This adjustment will be done under a no- load condition.

4.Turn the regulator’s Voltage Adjust pot clockwise to obtain a line to line voltage of 238-242 VAC.

5.If the red regulator LED is flashing, slowly turn the stability pot either direction until flashing stops.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (17.5 kW Units):

A single red lamp (LED) glows during normal opera- tion. The lamp will become dim if excitation winding AC output diminishes. It will go out on occurrence of an open condition in the sensing AC output circuit.

An adjustment potentiometer permits the stator AC power winding voltage to be adjusted. Perform this adjustment with the generator running at no-load, and

5308, 4583, 4451 & 4986, 4582 & 4987 specifications

Guardian Technologies has carved a niche in the market with its innovative air purification and UV-C sanitization products. The company's model numbers, including 4582, 4987, 4451, 4986, 4583, and 5308, represent a diverse range of solutions designed to enhance indoor air quality and safety in both residential and commercial settings.

The Guardian Technologies 4582 is equipped with a true HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of dust, pollen, smoke, and other particles as small as 0.3 microns. This model features a smart sensor that adjusts the fan speed according to the air quality in real-time. The UV-C light technology integrated into this device works to eliminate viruses and bacteria, providing an additional layer of protection against airborne pathogens.

The 4987 model follows suit with similar advanced features but adds a sleek design ideal for modern interiors. With multiple speed settings and a night mode, the 4987 is perfect for bedrooms or quiet spaces. Its energy-efficient operation coupled with an indicator that signals filter replacement ensures that users maintain optimal performance effortlessly.

The Guardian Technologies 4451 and 4986 models are particularly notable for their enhanced capacity and filtration efficiency. Both units incorporate a three-in-one filtration system that includes a pre-filter, activated charcoal filter, and HEPA filter. With their strategic design, these models not only purify the air but also trap common household odors, making them a popular choice for families with pets.

The 4583 model stands out with a unique combination of design and functionality. It features a low-profile design, making it easy to fit into any space. Its UV-C light technology not only disinfects air but can also sanitize surfaces, bridging the gap between air purification and direct sanitation.

Finally, the Guardian Technologies 5308 caters to larger spaces, offering impressive air circulation and filtration capabilities. Equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a powerful fan, it effectively cleans larger areas while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.

In summary, Guardian Technologies’ products exemplify a commitment to improving air quality and promoting health through innovative technology. With features like HEPA filtration, UV-C sanitization, smart sensors, and sleek designs, consumers can choose from a range of models that best fit their needs, ensuring cleaner, safer indoor environments.
