SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION


GENERAL
The LS65-12B Voltage Regulator is contained in an encapsulated plastic case. The regulator controls the dc exciter field power of conventional, 50 or 60 hertz brushless generators. Regulation is provided by sensing the generator output voltage, converting it to a dc signal and comparing the signal to a reference voltage signal. An error signal is developed and used to control the dc field power in order to maintain a constant generator output. The regulator includes frequency compensation with selectable slope, inverse time overexcitation shutdown, solid-state build-up circuitry, single-phase or three-phase voltage sensing, single-phase or three-phase shunt, or permanent magnet power input, and parallel droop compensation, and an accessory input. The accessory input provides compatibility with accessories such as a var/power factor controller.

SPECIFICATIONS
Refer to Table 1-1 for the electrical specifications and to Table 1-2 for the physical specifications of the LS65-12B. Table 1-1. Electrical Specifications Output Power (with a 240 Vac Input): AC Input Power: 12 Adc @ 65 Vdc maximum 25 Adc @ 125 Vdc forcing for 10 seconds. continuous.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
GENERAL
Table 3-1 provides system start-up procedures for the LS65-12B Voltage Regulator. Symptoms of problems occurring during start-up that arise from incorrect regulator adjustment and certain generator system problems that resemble faulty regulation are included together with possible solutions. Simplifying the system by eliminating components, such as remote adjust potentiometers and other nonessential items can be helpful in the troubleshooting process. Adjustments, options, and an operational test are included in the paragraphs after the table.

PRELIMINARY SET-UP
To prevent damage to the regulator, ensure that the regulator has been installed and connected in accordance with Section 2 before proceeding with the system start-up.

SYSTEM START-UP
Refer to Table 3-1 for starting up the system. Table 3-1. System Start-Up Procedure 1. Perform the preliminary set-up. 2. Start prime mover and bring up to rated speed. N/A a. Voltage does not build-up. Symptom N/A a. Flash field. b. Remove power for 1 minute to allow the over excitation circuit to reset. c. Troubleshoot. See Section 4. b. Voltage builds up and then decays. 3. Slowly adjust VOLT adjustment or external voltage adjust rheostat until voltage reaches nominal. a. Voltage does not build up to rated value. a. Troubleshoot. See Section 4. a. Check generator output for shorted or excessive load. b. Troubleshoot. See Section 4. b. Voltage high and uncontrollable. 4. Apply and remove load to check stability. Generator response too slow or is hunting (oscillating). a. Troubleshoot. See Section 4. a. Check generator output for shorted or excessive load. Adjust STB with no load applied. b. Check stability of governor system. c. Troubleshoot. See Section 4. Remedy

Operation

3-1

Procedure 5. Check regulation under normal operating conditions.

Symptom Poor regulation.

Remedy a. Check that prime mover is up to speed. b. Check that voltmeter is connected at the same point as the regulator sensing. c. Use an average sensing voltmeter (not a RMS sensing). d. Troubleshoot. See Section 4.

6. Reduce generator frequency. Generator output should decrease from this point.

Generator output voltage does not decrease at desired frequency.

a. Check that all wiring is in accordance with Section 2. b. Adjust FREQ control.

ADJUSTMENTS
For location of the adjustments referenced in the following paragraphs, refer to Figure 2-1. Field Flashing When the regulator is operated with the generator for the first time, the polarity of the residual magnetism may not be correct or of sufficient magnitude. If generator residual voltage is less than 6 Vac at terminals 26,28 and 30 shut down the prime mover and proceed with the following steps: CAUTION Do not flash the field with the generator in motion. The regulator may be damaged. (1) With the prime mover at rest, apply a dc source (ungrounded), of not more than 24 Vdc, to terminals F1 (positive) and F2 (negative) in series with a limiting resistor. Use one (1) ohm of resistance for each volt from the dc power source with a power rating of least one (1) watt per ohm. EXAMPLE: If using a 24 Vdc source, use a 24-ohm, 24-watt resistor. (2) Allow the field to be flashed for approximately ten seconds before removing the dc source. (3) If voltage build-up does not occur after performing steps (1) and (2), verify the polarity of the dc source used in steps (1) and (2) and re-perform. Frequency Roll-Off Adjustment The underfrequency knee can be set for 50 (60) Hz operation as described in the following paragraphs. (1) Adjust the generator frequency for 50 (60) Hz. (2) Adjust the underfrequency potentiometer (UF) CCW. (3) Adjust the Voltage Adjust for 200 (240) Vac. (4) Adjust the underfrequency potentiometer (UF) CW until the voltage begins to decrease. (5) Adjust the underfrequency potentiometer (UF) CCW until the voltage just returns to the value set in Step 3. (6) The underfrequency knee is now set just below the nominal operating frequency. Further rotation in the CCW direction will lower the frequency at which underfrequency compensation begins. 3-2 Operation

(7) Connecting a jumper from terminal 8 to terminal 6a will provide an underfrequency slope of 1 pu V/Hz. No connection to terminal 8 will result in an underfrequency slope of 2 pu V/Hz. Stability (STB) Adjustment An oscilloscope or other voltage-recording device should be used if an optimal stability setting is desired. Adjust the stability setting with the generator at no load. Good response can be obtained with the following procedure. (1) Rotation of the front panel STB control in the clockwise (CW) direction will slow response time. (2) Rotation of the front panel STB control in the counter-clockwise (CCW) direction will speed response time. If rotated too far CCW, the generator voltage may oscillate (hunt). (3) Rotate the front panel STB control CCW until the system just begins to oscillate and then rotate CW just past the point where oscillation occurred. Voltage (VLT ADJ) Adjustment (1) Installation of a jumper across terminals 4 and 7 allows the internal (front panel) VLT ADJ adjustment to vary the generator nominal voltage over the operating range. (2) Remove the jumper between terminals 4 and 7 and connect a 10k ohm external voltage adjust potentiometer across terminals 6 and 7 to allow operation of the external voltage adjust potentiometer. The internal voltage adjustment should be set fully CW for proper operation of the external adjustment.

Factory Voltage Adjust Range Calibration Adjustment

CAUTION The factory calibration (FAC CAL) adjustment is intended for use by factory technicians only. The following procedure can be used if the factory calibration has been disturbed. (1) With the voltage regulator operating on a generator, adjust the calibration potentiometer fully ccw and the voltage adjust potentiometer fully cw. Adjust the calibration potentiometer cw until the generator voltage is 272 1 Vac. Adjust the voltage adjust ccw and verify the generator voltage is between 156 and 180 Vac. The unit is calibrated and the calibration potentiometer can be sealed.

Parallel Droop (DRP) Compensation (1) Variable parallel droop compensation levels can be obtained by adjusting the droop potentiometer. CW rotation increases the amount of droop for a given condition.

OPTIONS
The LS65-12B may be equipped with the following options to enhance operational characteristics. Characteristics of these options are defined in the following paragraphs. Remote Voltage Adjust Connect a 10 k ohm potentiometer from terminals 6 to 7, remove the jumper from terminal 4 to 7 and adjust the internal voltage adjust potentiometer fully clock wise to allow operation of a remote voltage adjust. Operation 3-3

Excitation Disable This option provides for disabling of the excitation system by removal of power from the LS65-12B. A switch removing voltage from terminals 26, 28 and/or 30 will remove power. Current Boost Module This option provides short circuit support during motor starting or generator fault clearing. When these conditions cause the generator voltage to be low, special current transformers provide excitation to the exciter field to boost the generator output. Var/PF Control This option allows the LS65-12B to regulate the var and power factor while the generator is connected to an infinite or utility bus. The var/PF option (Model Number SCP250G-50 for 50-hertz operation or SCP250G-60 for 60-hertz operation) supplies a dc signal into the LS65-12B terminals 2 and 3 to regulate the SCP250 var or power factor setting. Manual Voltage Control This option provides a manual back-up channel for manually controlling the generator output during generator start-up and commissioning or in the unlikely event that the LS65-12B should fail. This option comes in two models. Manual voltage controller model MVC-112 is suitable for use with the LS65-12B

OPERATIONAL TEST
To operationally test any LS65-12B, perform the following steps. a. Connect the voltage regulator as shown by Figure 3-1 and apply 240 Vac. b. Adjust the front panel VLT ADJ control fully counterclockwise (CCW). RESULT: Observe that the lamp is OFF. c. Adjust the front panel VLT ADJ control clockwise (CW). RESULT: Observe that the lamp is now ON. d. Adjust the front panel VLT ADJ control until the lamp just goes out. Regulator operation is satisfactory if the above results are obtained. Stability, however, must be tested with the generator and regulator in operation.
