^ZVCA
DSEA106 MKII
Description
DSEA106 MKII is a Deep Sea Electronics model, coded ^ZVCA. Typical service: engine-room watchkeeping support (UMS); alarm + event logging. Installed on cargo ship, tanker, bulk carrier.
Did you know
- The DSEA106 MKII Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) builds upon the foundation of the DSEA106, introducing enhanced features for broader application. Deep Sea Electronics has been manufacturing engine and generator control modules since 1977.
- The DSEA106 MKII is part of Deep Sea Electronics' DSEGenset® range of digital automatic voltage regulators. It is designed for alternators with auxiliary winding or shunt connections, distinguishing it from models that might be used with Permanent Magnet Generators (PMGs).
- This model offers higher stability compared to older analog AVR designs, maintaining a smooth and regulated AC output voltage regardless of the electrical load. Its soft start ramping feature helps minimize voltage overshoot, and it includes protections for under frequency, loss of voltage sensing, and over excitation.
| Model | Power Supply Voltage Range (AC) | Alternator Output Sensing Voltage Range (AC) | Continuous Excitation Output Current (DC) | Remote Voltage Adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSEA106 MKII | 100 V to 300 V (Ph to N/Ph) | 15 V to 600 V (Ph to N/Ph) | 0 A to 7 A | Potentiometer (5 kΩ) or -10 V to +10 V DC signal |
| DSE103 MKII (Speed Switch) | 8 V (continuous, DC) | N/A (monitors magnetic pickup pulse or frequency) | N/A (relay contacts change state) | N/A (configurable trip points for speed) |
