4.3 BLOCK DIAGRAM

The structure of the regulator is shown on Figure 4.3.1.

The principle of operation is based on the comparison of the RMS sensing voltage with the reference voltage, adjusted by the
sum of the values of Vad trimpot and the external trimpot. The error is processed by the sensing loop and its value determines
the firing angle of the thyristor, which can vary from 0 to 180°, thus controlling the output voltage of the generator. With zero
degree firing, the result is zero volts on the output side of the rectifier, and 180 degrees results in maximum output of the half
wave rectifier.
Generation starts through the generator residual voltage. After the voltage has reached approximately 10% of the nominal
value, the regulator controls the voltage of the generator, taking it through an initial ramp up of approximately 1 second until
reaching nominal voltage. From this point on, the sensing loop will maintain the output voltage of the generator constant within
the adjusted value.
Figure 4 shows the control diagram of the GRT7-TH4 R2 voltage regulator. The control it's based in ST1A, shown by IEEE ,
and applied to systems where the rectifier is fed from the output of the generator (Type ST – Static Excitation Systems), directly
or through auxiliary coils or through a transformer.
