Description
Basic marine/industrial replacement AVR.
Did you know
- McPherson Controls, a brand of MTS Power Products, manufactures a range of electrical control products, including voltage regulators. The specific launch date for the AR1 Series Automatic Voltage Regulator is not readily available in public domain information. However, McPherson Controls products are described as a custom line of commercial and residential grade products.
- The AR1 Series is one of several voltage regulators offered by McPherson Controls. Other McPherson Controls voltage regulators are available, such as the SS321 and SS16A2, which offer different specifications and features.
- McPherson Controls voltage regulators, including the AR1 Series, are designed to maintain a constant electrical output voltage level. They are suitable for various power system operations and control needs.
| Model | Voltage Regulation | Sensing Input Voltage | Excitation Output Current (Continuous) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AR1 Series | Less than +/-0.5% RMS (with 4% engine governing) | 190 to 264 Vac 3 phase | 4A |
| SS321 | Less than +/-0.5% RMS (with 4% engine governing) | 190 to 264 Vac 3 phase | 4A |
| SS16A2 | Less than +/-0.5% RMS | Not specified, but has separate power inputs for auxiliary windings | 16A |
