What is an AVR?
An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is an electronic device that maintains a constant voltage level to electrical equipment on the same load.

How to choose AVR for the generator?
Take into account the startup power motor consumption by adding a buffer (typically x3). For example We calculated a 368 Watts power consumption previously.
When we multiply this by 3, we get 368W x 3 = 1104 Watts. Choose an AVR or Power-on-Delay that is equal to or higher than the calculated power consumption
What are the 4 types of AVR?
AC automatic voltage regulators are an indispensable part of electrical applications. Installing one ensures that equipment operates optimally and with a prolonged lifespan.
We’ve explored 4 of the most common AVRs; servo, magnetic induction, static tap switching and ferroresonant.
How many ports are there in AVR?
The four ports PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, and PORTD are programmed to perform the desired operation. The number of ports in the AVR family varies depending on the number of pins available on the chip.
The 8-pin AVR has port B only, while the 64-pin version has ports A to ports F, and the 100-pin AVR has ports A to ports L.
