Hi. I am looking for an AVR for a 3-phase brushed alternator/generator. Are AVRs for brushless units similar, just without the rectifier ? If I added a rectifier to a brushless type, would it work with a brushed system ? What is the difference between an AVR for a single-phase and a 3-phase system ?
With the generator that I have, when it starts generating, it draws quite a bit of power just for the excitation. I am suspicious that there is insulation breakdown in the rotor resulting in suppressed flux/amp. Does that make sense ?
TIA
