Frequently Asked Questions - BASLER DECS100-A15

Q1: What is the main difference between the DECS100-A15 and other DECS100 model variants?

A: The A15 suffix designates specific features in the DECS100 family. The DECS100-A15 does NOT include VAR/power factor controlling capabilities, but DOES include voltage matching functionality and is configured for 5A CT secondary inputs. This makes it ideal for standalone generator applications or parallel operation where external VAR control is handled separately. If you require integrated VAR/PF control, you would need a different model variant such as the DECS100-A05 or similar.

Q2: Can the DECS100-A15 replace my older analog Basler voltage regulator?

A: In most cases, yes. The DECS100-A15 is designed as an upgrade path from older analog Basler regulators and many competitive AVRs. However, you must verify compatibility with your specific alternator's excitation system, voltage configuration, and CT ratings. The DECS100 series offers improved regulation accuracy, faster response, and enhanced protection compared to analog predecessors. Contact General Power with your generator model information, and we can confirm compatibility and provide retrofit guidance.

Q3: What size generator can the DECS100-A15 control?

A: The DECS100-A15 is rated for generators up to 5MW (5000kW) capacity. With continuous output of 63VDC at 7.0 Amps, it provides sufficient excitation power for most industrial brushless alternators in this power range. For smaller generators (under 500kW), this AVR may be overspecified, though it will function properly. For generators exceeding 5MW, consult with Basler Electric or General Power regarding appropriate voltage regulator sizing.

Q4: Does this AVR work with both 50Hz and 60Hz generators?

A: Yes, the BASLER DECS100-A15 is frequency-agnostic and works with both 50Hz and 60Hz generator systems. The digital microprocessor automatically adapts to the operating frequency. Configuration settings allow you to optimize performance for your specific frequency, and the under-frequency protection can be adjusted accordingly. This makes the DECS100-A15 suitable for international applications and diverse generator installations worldwide.

Q5: Is technical support available for installation and troubleshooting?

A: Absolutely. When you purchase the DECS100-A15 from General Power, you gain access to our technical support team who can assist with pre-installation questions, compatibility verification, and basic troubleshooting guidance. Additionally, as an authorized dealer, we can facilitate direct manufacturer support from Basler Electric for complex technical issues.
