Description
R230 variant (service).
Did you know
- The Leroy-Somer R230M is an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) that has been superseded by the R250. It was designed for self-excited, shunt-excited alternators.
- The R230M is an analog AVR, positioned as a simpler, more economical option compared to advanced digital AVRs like the R450 or DeepSea DSE7320, which offer features such as load shedding, alarms, and communication ports. It has been replaced by the R250, which offers higher excitation current capacity and improved thermal stability.
- The R230M is chosen for its straightforward, reliable voltage regulation in shunt-excited alternators, particularly in applications where simplicity and durability are prioritized over advanced digital features.
| Model | Voltage Regulation | Excitation Current (Continuous) | Sensing Voltage Range | Load Acceptance Module (LAM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R230M | ±0.5% | 4A (intermittent 8A for 10s) | 85-139 V (50/60 Hz) | No |
| R250 | ±0.5% | 5A (maximum 7A for 10s) | 85-139 V (50/60 Hz) | Yes |
