Universal Voltage Regulator
The XR500B is a unique voltage
regulator that is designed specifically
for Professional Electrical Generator
Service and Repair Technicians.
The XR500B incorporates patented
electronic circuitry that allows an
installer to match the regulator to many
differing configurations of exciters
without special transformers or inline
resistors.
The XR500B can be externally
controlled with a PLC or Genset
controller by simply adding an optional
interface module.

  • Page 1 XR500B Universal Voltage Regulator The XR500B is a unique voltage regulator that is designed specifically for Professional Electrical Generator Service and Repair Technicians. The XR500B incorporates patented electronic circuitry that allows an installer to match the regulator to many differing configurations of exciters without special transformers or inline resistors.
  • Page 2 Always wear eye protection and never hold the regulator in your hand when energized. The XR500B is a Universal Voltage Regulator that can be configured several different ways to fit differing applications. Before selecting a wiring configuration for the regulator, you must know certain pieces of information about the generator and exciter to be successful in determining the correct hookup for the regulator.
  • Page 3 If this generator is going to operate at a speed lower than 50/60 Hz, a disconnect or switch should be placed in series from the generator stator Connection B to terminal #1 and #2 on the XR500B. For 480vac, either use a AØ...
