About Automatic voltage regulator systems

In order to control the generator output (for example, in ships, power plants, oil rigs or emergency power supply system), the automatic voltage stabilizer. Automatic voltage regulator systems are active, their action on the same principle and the general regulator, but the system is more complex. Automatic voltage regulator includes diodes, capacitors, resistors and potentiometers, and even includes a microcontroller, all placed on a circuit board. Usually installed near the generator, connect some lines with measurement and adjustment of the output of the generator. A step voltage stabilizer is designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. step voltage regulators may be a simple "feed-forward" design or may include negative feedback control loops. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design , it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.
