Description
The E7800 Motorized Potentiometer is typically used as an
interface between increase/decrease contacts and a device
requiring control/adjustments by an external potentiometer.
In generator control applications, the E7800 can be used as
speed trim of an electronic speed governor, interfacing the
synchronizer or the load sharer. It can also be used alone
for manual speed adjustment or speed trim of electronic
governors, or for remote control of generator voltage, power
factor and reactive load (E7800 connected to Automatic
Voltage Regulator (AVR)).
