What is AVR? Explain the function AVR?

Answer Posted / vikas gupta

Avr-automatic voltage regulator, it uses in ac alternators to regualte the voltage...its input is in ac and output is dc, it maintain the voltage as load variation on alternator, if load increases it gives the more dc voltage to exciter stator, so that more voltage could generate.
