R 438 A.V.R.

R 438 FOR SHUNT, AREP or PMG ALTERNATORS

1 - Description

R 438 is an analog A.V.R.


It is designed for alternators with a
AREP or PMG excitation.
R 438 controls the excitation current in order
to maintain the output voltage of the alternator.
R 438 is performant in terms of voltage
regulation, simple to set , to use and is reliable.
It can run without LAM (U/f), or with LAM, selection
is done by strap ST5.

It is in compliance with I.E.C. 60034-1 standard


and U.L. 508 / C.S.A. approved
