3.7 EXU – Excitation unit (optional)
The EXU supplies a synchronous motor with excitation power. The EXU is
available for the following excitation methods:
• Brush excitation (DC excitation): Brush excitation uses a DCS800 AC-
to-DC converter (see figure below) which is supplied by the mains.
The converter controls the direct current for generating the
magnetic field. Brushes and slip-rings feed the DC current to the
rotor.
• Brushless excitation (AC excitation): Brushless excitation uses a
three-phase DCS800 AC-power controller (see figure below). The
power controller feeds an exciter which is mounted on the shaft of
the main motor. The rotating armature of the exciter supplies a
rectifier which generates the DC current for producing the
magnetic field in the synchronous motor.
