AVR Automatic Voltage Regulator for Marathon DVR2000E

Product Description

Part Number:

  • DVR2000E


  The Marathon DVR2000E voltage regulator is an electronic, solid state, microprocessor-based control device. The Automatic Voltage Regulator regulates the output voltage of a brushless, ac generator by controlling the current into the generator exciter field. Input power to the DVR2000E is from a multi-pole, high-frequency, permanent magnet generator (PMG).


Marathon DVR2000E Voltage Regulator Features and Capabilities:

  • Four control modes:
  • Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
  • Manual or Field Current Regulation (FCR)
  • Power Factor Regulation (PF)
  • Reactive Power Regulation (VAR)


Programmable stability settings

  • Soft start control with an adjustable time setting in AVR control mode
  • Overexcitation limiting (OEL) in AVR, VAR and PF control modes
  • Underfrequency (volts/hertz) regulation
  • Crowbar circuitry protects the field
  • Overtemperature protection
  • Three-phase or single-phase generator voltage (RMS) sensing/regulation in AVR mode
  • Single-phase generator current sensing for metering and regulation purposes
  • Field current and voltage sensing
  • Four contact sensing inputs for system interface
  • One common output relay for alarm indication and trip functions
  • Six protection functions
  • Overexcitation shutdown
  • Generator overvoltage shutdown
  • DVR overtemperature shutdown
  • Loss of generator sensing shutdown
  • Overexcitation limiting
  • Crowbar shutdown
  • Generator paralleling with reactive droop compensation and reactive differential compensation
  • Front-panel human-machine interface (HMI) indicates system and DVR2000E status and gives the ability to make setting changes at the front panel
  • Rear RS-232 communication port for personal computer communication using MARATHON-DVR2000E-COMS Windows-based software for fast, user-friendly setup and control
