Deep Sea AVR - Automatic Voltage Regulators

Deep Sea AVR Units for Steady Generator Voltage

A Deep Sea AVR keeps the voltage from your alternator steady while the load on your generator rises and falls. At General Power, we stock Deep Sea Automatic Voltage Regulators alongside our wider selection of voltage regulators, so you can find the right match in one place. We are based in Miami, Florida, and we have worked as an original equipment manufacturer, master distributor, and authorized dealer of power generation equipment since 1999.

How Automatic Voltage Regulators Protect Your Generator

An AVR reads the voltage your generator makes and compares it to a set target. When the voltage drifts, the regulator changes the current it sends to the exciter field of your AC alternator to bring it back in line. This happens many times each second, so lights stay steady and motors and electronics get the power they were built for.

Deep Sea builds its regulators around digital circuits. Analog regulators can be overly sensitive to temperature changes, which hurts stability. A digital design avoids that problem, which matters when a generator sits outdoors or in a hot engine room.

AVR Models for Different Alternator Designs

The DSEA106 MKII suits auxiliary winding alternators, while the DSEA108 also supports PMG power. The DSEA109 adds three phase sensing, a CAN J1939 port, and soft start ramping. Before you order, gather these details from your alternator nameplate. 

  • The power source for the regulator, such as shunt, auxiliary winding, or PMG
  • Single phase or three phase voltage sensing
  • The exciter field current and resistance
  • The operating frequency of your generator, 50 Hz or 60 Hz
  • Any need for CAN communication with your controller

If any of these details are missing, send us the alternator make and model. Our engineers can look up the rest and point you to the right unit.

Pairing a Deep Sea AVR With the Rest of Your System

A regulator works best when the parts around it are healthy and compatible. Many buyers pair a Deep Sea AVR with a Deep Sea generator controller, since the two can share data and give operators a clearer view of the machine. If your voltage problems continue after a regulator swap, worn diodes or other alternator replacement parts may be the cause.

We also build and supply complete diesel generator sets, which means we understand how the regulator, alternator, engine, and controls work together. That experience helps us spot a mismatch before it reaches your site.

Why Buyers Trust General Power For AVRs
