1.
GENERAL :
The Three-phase pilot exciter has a revolving field with

permanent magnet poles. The three-phase AC generated
by
the
permanent-magnet pilot exciter is rectified and controlled by the
DAVR to provide a
variable DC Current for exciting the main exciter.
`
The three-phase AC induced in the rotor of the main
exciter is
rectified by the rotating rectifier bridge
and fed to the field
winding of the generator rotor
through the DC leads in the rotor
shaft.
A common shaft carries the rectifier wheels, the rotor of the
main exciter and the permanent-magnet rotor of the pilot exciter. The
shaft is rigidly coupled to the generator rotor. The exciter shaft is
supported on a bearing between the main and pilot exciters.
The
generator and exciter rotors are thus supported on total of three
bearings.
Mechanical coupling of the two shaft assemblies results in
simultaneous coupling of the DC leads in the central shaft bore
through the Multikontakt electrical contact system consisting of plugin bolts and sockets.
This contact system is also designed to
compensate for length variations of the leads due to thermal
expansion.

for the silicon wafer is produced by a plate spring assembly.
The
arrangement of the diode is such that this contact pressure is

increased by the centrifugal force during rotation.
Shows additional components contained in the rectifier wheels.
Two diodes each are mounted in each aluminium alloy heat sink and thus
connected in parallel.
Associated with each heat sink is a fuse which
serves to switch off the two diodes if one diode fails (loss of
reverse blocking capability).
For suppression of the momentary voltage peaks arising from
communication, each wheel is provided with six RC networks consisting
of one capacitor and one damping resistor each, which are combined in
a single resin-encapsulated unit.

consists of 12 separate permanent magnets which are housed in a nonmagnetic metallic enclosure. The magnets are braced between the hub
and the external pole shoe with bolts. The rotor hub is shrunk onto
the free shaft end.
4.
Cooling of Exciter:
The exciter is air cooled. The cooling air is circulated in a
closed circuit and recooled in two cooler sections arranged alongside

the exciter.
The complete exciter is housed in an enclosure through which the
cooling air circulates.

The rectifier wheels, housed in their own enclosure, draw the

cool air in at both ends and expel the warmed air to the compartment
beneath the base plate.
The main exciter enclosure receives cool air from the fan after
it passes over the pilot exciter. The air enters the main exciter from
both ends and is passed into ducts below the rotor body and discharged
through radial slots in the rotor core to the lower compartment. The

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR(AVR)

To regulate the voltage and the reactive power of a synchronous
machine, the field voltage must be adjusted quickly the changes in the
operating conditions (with a response time that does not exceed a few
ms). To accomplish this, analog control systems include amplifiers
which make continuous comparison of the actual values against the
reference values and vary the control variable to the converter with
almost no delay. Most of the delay that occurs originates in the
converter, since the firing pulses for changing the rectifier phase
angle are only issued periodically.
The
DAVR(Digital
Automatic
Voltage
Regulator)
calculates
control variable from the measured and reference data in
the
very short
time intervals. This results outwardly in a quasi-continuous behaviour

with a negligible delay time.

phase alternating current is obtained via copper conductors arranged

The conductors are attached by means of banding

One three-phase conductor each is provided for the four

diodes of a heat sink set.

Three-Phase Main Exciter :

At the pole shoe bars are provided, their ends being

connected so as to form a damper winding.

Between two poles a

The winding ends are run to a bus

After full impregnation with synthetic resin and

curing, the complete rotor is shrunk onto the shaft.
