system consist of an electrically independent winding wound
among stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four leads: A, B, C and D. During light loads, the

(AVR) is supplied
from the leads parallel connections of B&C. When loads
increase, the AVR switches and accepts power from leads
A&D. The output of leads A&D increase proportionally with
load. This of adding the voltages to each phase provides
better voltage response during heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The

Engine Controller Alarm System
The DCA-400SSK generator is equipped with various alarms
and LED status indicators. These alarms and status indicators
are provided to add safety to the generator when operating
under normal conditions. The DCA-400SSK generator is
designed to shutdown in the event of low oil, high coolant
temperature, low battery and other operation conditions that
may cause severe damage to the generator.
