ALTERNATOR

It Is An Electrical Machine Which Converts Mechanical Power Into Electrical Power By

The Principle Of Electro-magnetic Induction.

Alternators Are The Primary Source Of All The Electrical Energy We Consume And Also

The Largest Energy Converters. KGEC/EE 14/7/2016

EXCITATION SYSTEMThe Process Of Creating And Strengthening The Magnetic Field Of The Alternator By Providing The Necessary Direct Current To The Field Winding Of The Alternator

THE DIRECT CURRENT IS SUPPLIED TO THE ROTOR BY A SEPARATE D.C. SOURCE, CALLED EXCITER.

FUNCTION OF EXCITATION

Supply Direct Current To the Field Winding For Creating Magnetic Field

Control Voltage & Reactive Power

Perform Protective Function

TYPES OF EXCITATION SYSTEM

1. DC Excitation System

2. AC Excitation System

3. Static Excitation System

D.C. EXCITATION SYSTEMTWO SMALL D.C.GENERATORS ARE USED AS EXCITERS.

D C EXCITATION SYSTEM

It is the oldest of all. Due to various problem now a days it is not conventionally used for large alternators

KGEC/EE 14/7/2016

A.C. EXCITATION SYSTEMIt Consists Of A.C. Generator And Thyristor Rectifier

Bridge Directly Connected To The Alternator Shaft or driven by separate motor.IT IS OF TWO TYPES

1. BRUSHLESS EXCITATION SYSTEM

2. ROTATING THYRISTOR EXCITATION SYSTEM

Main exciter is separately excited

Main exciter is self excited

BRUSHLESS EXCITATION SYSTEM Elimination of brush & slip rings Less maintenance Fast response time

Suitable For Higher Rating Alternator

STATIC EXCITATION SYSTEMThere Is No Rotating Part In This Excitation System. So No Windage Loss & Small Size.

Suitable For Medium & High Capacity Alternator
