Print Page - Bypass AVR?

Title: Bypass AVR?
Post by: Jedon on December 13, 2011, 12:46:23 PM

My neighbor has a multiquip dca-15spx3 generator and the AVR harness fried, can he just connect the two wires going from the generator to the AVR together to bypass it for now or does it need that for the field regulation?
Thanks!

First guess, not knowing the specifics of the generator in question would be NO! That AVR is there for a reason. No AVR, no output regulation, and that could get to be pretty expensive pretty fast, possibly wiping out all the controllers in all the appliances in the home that are plugged in when the generator is connected to it:)

Thanks! I was just going off my ST-5 that I added an AVR too, I guess brushed and brushless are different in that way and/or the ST-5 has at least some regulation features already?
