If there are damages on the goods (open
damages) report these to the haulage
contractor at take-over. In this case, the
receipt should only be given under
reservation with a written statement
regarding the estimated amount of the
damage.
If damages that were not noticeable by the

time of delivery (covered damages), are
detected later, they have to be reported
promptly to AvK, latest 6 days after receipt
of the delivery.
3.4 Unloading the generator
The unloading has to be performed in

compliance with the safety precautions for
transport (see chapter 3.1) and the local
safety precautions and rules for the
prevention of accidents.
Please refer to the freight

papers and the data of the
respective order (Rating
plate) for the weight of the
generator.
The weight of the generator is also
written on the rating plate.
3.5 Storage of the generator
After unloading, the

generator and possible
boxes with loose parts have
to be stored until installation,
following the shipping instructions.
Wrapped parts and assessories must not

be unwrapped if the generator is stored for
a longer period of time.
The machine and packages have to be

stored in a safe place, dust-free and dry
(humidity < 75%). Avoid mechanical
vibrations and damages.
If it is planned to store the

generator for a longer period
of time, please contact AvK
for further information.

1.9. Aligning the machine the coupling manufacturer´s data as a guide to
permissible deviations from true alignment.
Precise, careful alignment of the machine ensures that it
runs with the minimum vibration, thus extending the
service life of the machine and in particular of the
bearings. This applies to machnies with either flexible or
rigid couplings.
Even slight errors of alignment can rapidly result in

damaged bearings.
It is vital that all the feet are fully in contact. Uneven
undersurfaces cause stresses in the bearings and must be
compensated for by attaching sheet metal strips. Once
the machine is aligned correctly, secure it with dowel
pins. When aligning a machine of single bearing design,
it is important to comply with the reference dimensions
specified on the dimension sheet and the drawing
showing tolerances and clearances included with the
machine. For further instructions, see the chapter on
plain bearings.

Alignment is checked by measuring the distance between

inner diameter of the centering bell.
In the case of single-bearing machines with a divide DS
(drive side) end shield, accuracy of alignment is checked
by measuring the air gap.
If the machine has an undivided bearing plate, a

machined end disc is installed at the drive side. The
measurement is then made between the shaft and the
machined inner diameter of te end plate.
Take three measurements in each case, at 120-degree
intervals round the shaft. The results must not vary by
more than 0,2 mm.
This will ensure a uniform air gap beneath all poles and

1. General With the use of additional modules it is possible to intervene
in set-point and actual value formation via the ”COSIMAT N+”
The ”COSIMAT N+” is a compact voltage regulator designed signal inputs:
to control synchronous alternators both in single and parallel
operation. There are a large number of additional modules available for
a wide variety of control applications e.g.
In single operation, the alternator voltage is held constant
irrespective of power, frequency and temperature. ● cos phi regulation of a synchronous alternator or motor
When operated in parallel with the mains or with other or

alternators, a stable reactive power is produced.
● Limitation of start-up current when connecting up a large

5. Special functions and additional
equipment
5.1 Stand-by and emergency manual switchover
Where higher availability is required, there are ”stand-by”

circuits.
Stand-by circuits contain two "COSIMAT N+" voltage regula-

tors.
The alternator is regulated by one of these regulators (main

regulator). If this regulator is defective, it is possible to switch
to the second (stand-by) regulator.
Stand-by circuits are available in either manual or automatic

form.
Manual stand-by circuit (SB1)
In the event of a malfunction, a changeover switch permits

the stand-by regulator to be selected.
The changeover switch switches over all the signals apart

from the sensing voltage and supply connections UH2
(VH1) and WH2.
Automatic stand-by circuit (SB2)
The stand-by circuit monitors the main regulator.
Common operating variables with respect to the response

of the regulator allow fault detection and switchover to
the stand-by regulator.
The stand-by regulator operates in simulated control

mode and is likewise monitored.
The switch between the two regulators can take place

during the operation of the alternator and can be perfor-
med manually, by means of a test function or, in the case
of a malfunction, automatically.

remains the same (see 8. Diagrams of connections).
The lead between the droop switch and the regulator must be
screened. For motor control, a cos phi controller (COS module) is
required additionally.
The screen must be earthed at one end on the "COSIMAT N+".
Caution:
In parallel operation, the switch must be

opened.
11.6 Changing the direction of rotation
To enable the droop sensing system to exercise the correct

effect, the "COSIMAT N+" requires a clockwise-rotating field
at its measuring voltage connections.
Caution:
If the direction of rotation is reversed, in-

terchange sensing leads U and W.
Figure 36 – Modes of operation of a synchronous machine
Note:
The desired direction of rotation should be specified
when ordering the alternator. This is important with 11.8 Protective fuses
regard to ventilation.
When the protective fuses are tripped, they must be replaced
with fuses of the same type.
11.7 Synchronous motors
Fuse type:
Synchronous motors operate in a similar way to synchronous
alternators in parallel operation. The direction of the active
10 A super quick-acting IEC G 144.400
power is rotated through 180° relative to the alternator (see
Figure 36 – Operation of the synchronous machine).
Caution:
Starting from cos phi = 1, this has the following implications
for the reactive power: The power stage may be permanently da-

the supply and exciter field connections.
When used as a motor, the synchronous machine draws

excitation.

correct direction of action whether the machine is being Further information on how to dry out the alternator can be

11.10 External power supply must be connected to the correspondingly named connecting
terminal of the "COSIMAT N+".
If the auxiliary exciter voltage is taken from a different,
”external” source (e.g. the mains), the supply must not be
switched on until the alternator has started up.
When shutting down the alternator, the supply must be
switched off before the machine comes to a halt.
The switch-on and switch-off point of the supply should be set

to 0.95 x fN using a frequency relay (BF1).
The double terminals at connections UH1 and WH1 can be

used to switch the supply on and off (see 8.5 De-excitation
circuit).
Caution:
When the alternator is stationary and an

auxiliary exciter voltage is applied, the
exciter current flowing is at its maximum!
The protective circuit of the "COSIMAT N+"
will trip the protection fuses on the front
plate after about 8 seconds.
11.11 400 Hz alternator/converter
On 400 Hz alternators < 100 kVA (as single machines or

converters), switch S2.3 must be set to the "OFF" position.
11.12 Checking the insulation voltage of the

electric machine
Before checking the insulation voltage of the electric machine,

the following connections of the "COSIMAT N+" must be
disconnected:
Measuring voltage U, V, W
Supply UH1-UH2, WH1-WH2
Exciter field I1-K1
The supply and measurement connections of additional regu-

lator components must also be disconnected.
All disconnected or interrupted connections should be isolated

in the appropriate manner.
11.13 Exchange/replacement; "COSIMAT N/N3"

by "COSIMAT N+"
On AvK alternators of series DSG, DIDBN, DIDBH and DIG,

sizes ...74-86-99-114-125, switch S2.4 on the "COSIMAT

and S2.3 should be switched to the ”ON” position. Switch
S2.1 should be set to the ”OFF” position.
