Frequently Asked Questions About BASLER DECS100-A05
Q1: What is the difference between the DECS100-A05 and other DECS100 models?
Answer: The DECS100-A05 configuration specifically does not include VAR/PF (reactive power/power factor) controlling or voltage matching capabilities, and is designed for use with 5A CT (current transformer) secondaries. Other DECS100 suffix models (like A06, A07, etc.) may include these additional features. The A05 is ideal for single-generator applications where the unit operates independently without parallel operation requirements. If you need reactive power control or parallel operation capabilities, other DECS100 variants may be more appropriate for your application.
Q2: Can the DECS100-A05 replace my existing analog AVR?
Answer: In most cases, yes. The BASLER DECS100-A05 can replace many older analog voltage regulators on generators up to 5MW capacity. However, you must verify compatibility factors including: sensing voltage matches your generator (100/120, 200/240, 400/480, or 600VAC), your current transformers are 5A secondary type, excitation power requirements are within the 63VDC/7A output capacity, and mounting dimensions are acceptable. The digital DECS100-A05 typically provides superior voltage regulation performance compared to older analog AVRs. Contact General Power's technical team if you need assistance determining compatibility with your specific generator model.
Q3: What generators is the DECS100-A05 compatible with?
Answer: The DECS100-A05 is compatible with brushless AC generators and alternators up to 5MW (5000kW) from virtually all major manufacturers including Marathon, Stamford, Leroy-Somer, Kohler, Caterpillar, Generac, Mecc Alte, and Newage among others. The key requirements are that the generator uses a separate excitation system (not permanent magnet), has appropriate sensing voltage (100/120, 200/240, 400/480, or 600VAC), uses 5A CT secondaries, and field excitation requirements are within the 63VDC/7A output capacity of the AVR. For specific generator model compatibility verification, consult your generator documentation or contact General Power.
