What is the working of AVR in AC generators?

Answer Posted / nageeb khalafalla mohammed

The AVR is (automatic voltage regulator)is an electronic circuit used to keep the generator voltage constant to the pre stetted value whatever the changes of the loads as the voltages tends to decrease with the increasing of the load so the AVR increases the exciting current and the opposite is done for increasing in the voltage . This is done by virtue of the thyristor in the AVR , the reference voltage circuit, the comparator circuit in the AVR .with the feedback circuit. the AVR senses the output voltage and increase or decrease the excitation accordingly to keep the voltage constant.

a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5

Is there a possibility to use such a treshold voltage for the NMOS part of a CMOS circuit that during the switching it will start conducting only after the PMOS part will be already closed, by this eliminating the leakedge current? Please note, I'm not asking about the well bias in standby mode, but about the "antileakedge" measures during normal operation.
