GE DS2020FEANRP050A/RR Field Exc 50 Amp
Brief Product Description
The GE DS2020FEANRP050A/RR (Field Excitation 50 Amp) is a module designed for industrial drive and control systems, specifically for regulating the field excitation of a motor or generator. It provides a precise and controlled 50-amp DC current to the field winding, which is essential for controlling the speed and torque of a DC motor or the voltage output of a generator.
Key Specifications:
- Type: Field Excitation Module
- Rated Current: 50 Amperes
- Compatibility: GE industrial control systems
- Function: Provides controlled DC current to a field winding
- Application: DC motor control, generator excitation, industrial automation
Detailed Product Overview
In large DC motors and generators, the magnetic field is a key component for controlling performance. The GE DS2020FEANRP050A/RR is the component responsible for creating and regulating this field. Think of the field winding as a large electromagnet; this module provides the power to that electromagnet, allowing for precise control. By adjusting the current supplied to the field winding, the module can change the strength of the magnetic field, which in turn controls the speed of a motor or the voltage of a generator.
The “50 Amp” in the part number indicates its current rating, making it suitable for medium-sized to large applications. The “RR” at the end of the alphanumeric string indicates that the unit has been remanufactured. This is a common and cost-effective option for maintaining legacy industrial systems, as it allows for the replacement of a critical component without the high cost of a new one. The module’s robust design allows it to operate reliably in the harsh conditions of a factory floor, including high temperatures and electrical noise.
