Overview
The AN-5-203 is an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) that maintains the generator output voltage within precise limits by controlling the exciter field current. It continuously samples the generator output voltage and adjusts excitation to compensate for load changes, engine speed variations, and temperature drift.
Key Features
- Half-Wave Thyristor — Proven reliable excitation for Denyo generators
- 5A Continuous Output — 120VDC max for Denyo alternators
- ±1.5% Regulation — Stable output under varying loads
- 55-200VAC Sensing — Wide detection range
- UF Protection — 17% slope down to 30Hz
- Denyo OEM Replacement — TLG-18SPY, DCA-13/15/25 series

Selection Advice
The AN-5-203 is the Denyo OEM specified model. If the generator model is confirmed as TLG/DCA series, the AN-5-203 is the safest choice with exact OEM specification and interface matching. If the specific model cannot be confirmed, the NTA-5A-2DB offers broader compatibility, lower price, and higher regulation accuracy.
