3.3.5. Excitation unit (EXU)
The EXU supplies a synchronous motor with excitation power. The EXU is available
for the following excitation methods:
– Brush excitation (DC excitation): Uses a DCS800 AC-to-DC converter 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): Uses a three-phase DCS800 AC-power
controller. 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.
For more information, see “Air-cooled excitation units, brush brushless excitation
technical data” (3BHS299399 E01).
