the txp 4500 , generac RV genset had an AVR, many 'recent' production generac models use an AVR, the replacement AVR for current production models cost around $90 or more, i looked into using one on my old generator before, the CDI ignition system died and I was unable to get a replacement for 'that part'
MrWizard,
For some reason, you are one of the few with knowledge in this area that will talk about the cause of AVR failure. You have mentioned previously that the one possible cause of these failures is the SPIKES. Now we hear talk about a after market add on that will KILL the little buggers if the AVR fails. Hope this is not like the 'after market' of printers. Give the printer free and wait for the ink sales. Nother thing, if a small genset can be produced without this troubled AVR thing, why not? Something about a nice wave form? Is this necessary to operate my Fridge and A/C compressors. The power supply on my PC must be pretty resilient. They work in the Philippines with current all over the place, then when one fails some pretty smart folks rewind them on the street. Some do have a EE degrees.
