Two versions of the DER 1 and DER 1/A regulators are available; the first one is optimised for Mecc Alte Series 3 to 38 alternators, while the second is optimised for Mecc Alte series 40, 43 and 46 alternators; the two versions differ primarily in the default parameters.

When necessary, the DI1 interface permits insertion of the regulator in a RS485 network with other regulators or other devices of a different type, but with the same type of bus. Contact the Mecc Alte technical office for detailed descriptions of the ModBus commands implemented.

Alternatively, the DER1 can be configured by directly setting the value of the P[10] parameter; in this case the value is calculated before entry, summing the numbers indicated in the column "Value" of Table 7, corresponding to the functions it is desired t enable.

3. EXCITATION OVERCURRENT 3.1 Description The DER1 regulator is equipped with an excitation (main rotor) winding temperature estimator. An estimate of the temperature is memorised in real time (and can be read) at location L[45]. The progress of the temperature is of the exponential type (see figure 7).

Vaux is considered proportionate to Vout and the proportional coefficient is determined by parameter P [14]. If the DER1 is powered directly by the regulated phase, parameter 14 should be set on 0; in case it is powered by auxiliary winding or PMG, the voltage (Vaux) must be measured, in no-load conditions and with output voltage regulated on the nominal value (Vout);...

The threshold can be set with parameter P[26]. NOTE: Though the voltage is continuously regulated, the DER1 will switch off if the frequency goes under 20Hz. To reset the system it is necessary to stop completely the alternator.
