EMCP IVR Connection
To regulate the generator terminal voltage, the EMCP communicates the desired excitation command to the excitation module through a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. A twisted pair of shielded cable must be used for the communication link. Table 1 details the connections to be made between the EMCP and Excitation Module.

Shield 19 Shield P3-1 Table 2 provides information on the technical specification of the EM10 and EM15 modules. Selection of the appropriate module must be determined by the following:
Nominal and maximum generator excitation current at full load (standby 0.8 PF).
The maximum AC voltage input.

The EM10 and EM15 excitation modules have three plug type multiple-pin connectors. The connectors are labeled P2, P3, and P4 as shown in illustration 2. Table 3 describes the signal and function of each connector pin.

P4-2 Z1 Excitation Power Supply Input Z1
P4-3 X1 Excitation Power Supply Input X1
P4-4 Z2 Excitation Power Supply Input Z2 Note: The X2 and Z1 connections are internally linked within the excitation module. The link provides a point of common connection for the auxiliary windings where an AREP or IE excitation supply is available. Also, the X2 and Z1 connections may be linked externally to the excitation module. Only three connections (X1, X2, and Z2) are needed for the EM. Refer to Systems Operation/Test and Adjust/Troubleshooting, UENR1209, "Integrated Voltage Regulator Connections" for excitation module wiring connections. The wiring diagrams are for self-excitation (shunt), auxiliary windings (AREP/IE), and permanent magnet (PM) configurations.The voltage regulator knee frequency must be configured for your specific package requirements. The knee frequency for 50 Hz operation will usually be between 48.0 and 49.8 Hz. For 60 Hz operation, the parameter must be set between 58.0 to 59.8 Hz.Refer to Illustration 3 for an example under-frequency roll-off (loading) profile.
