What Is an AVR?<\/h2>\n

An Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is an electronic device that controls the output voltage of your generator’s alternator. It monitors the voltage and adjusts the excitation current to maintain a stable output regardless of load changes.<\/p>\n

How AVRs Work<\/h2>\n

The AVR continuously measures the alternator output voltage and compares it to a reference value. If the voltage drops (increased load), the AVR increases excitation to bring voltage back to the set point. If voltage rises (load decrease), it reduces excitation.<\/p>\n
