AVR stands for automatic voltage regulator.
The function of AVR is to automatically regulate the voltage of Generators. As the terminal voltage of a generators drops the AVR boosts the voltage.
there is problem in AVR and magnetic strength.
Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) : Depends on the generator output voltage & out put current/Kvar it will change the exciter voltage. Change in excitation voltage controls the reactive power (Kvar). whereas, a Governor controls the fuel supply to primemover(Engine) in order to control the speed of generator, change in speed (rpm) also controls Active power (KW).
The AVR (automatic voltage regulator) measures the generator voltage output and varies the field voltage (which varies the strength of the rotating magnetic field) to maintain a fixed output voltage. Some generators excite (power) the AVR and field windings from the main stator, some provide a separate stator winding just for field excitation, and others provide a separate stator winding and rotating permanent magnets (called PMG) for field excitation. The generators that do not have permanent magnets rely on residual magnetism for the initial voltage to start the system or may provide initial voltage from the engine's starting battery.
