synchronous generator exciter cct
synchronous generator exciter cct
(OP)
Can someone give me a refresher here.......my usual is 600V and below
how does this work? Whats does the exciter cct control...phase angle and voltage output?
any input would be appreciated

RE: synchronous generator exciter cct
So, there are a great many options. But most of them - I would say all - use thyristors to control excitation. The thyristors are phase controlled. A long delay before they are fired gives a low excitation and a short delay produces more voltage and hence more current in the excitation winding. The delay is counted in electric degrees. One cycle is 360 degrees so normal delay is between 30 and 150 degrees (with some exceptions).
Have a look at the Basler site http://www.basler.com/html/ses.htm . A lot to read there.
