Replacing MG set
Replacing MG set
(OP)
Hi all,
So we have an old, old equipment from the 40's that is using an MG (motor-generator) set. We are thinking about replacing this MG set with a solid-state power supply or another MG set with today's motor technology. What do you guys think?
Inputs:
-30kW, 3 phase 440V, 60Hz
Output:
-90-240V, 1 phase, 180Hz
-124VDC

RE: Replacing MG set
The DC supply can be gotten from a small rectifier in any case, or is that the exciter for the 180Hz generator?

Companies who make 400Hz ground equipment for the aviation industry might be able to make you a 'special' although the following equation tends to be fairly accurate: aviation supplier + custom build = very expensive.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
