GE DS2020FEANRP100A/RR Field Exciter
Brief Product Description
The GE DS2020FEANRP100A/RR is a Field Exciter module designed for industrial control systems. It is responsible for providing a precise and controlled 100-amp DC current to the field winding of a motor or generator. This component is essential for regulating the speed, torque, or voltage output of the machinery.
Key Specifications:
- Type: Field Exciter Module
- Rated Current: 100 Amperes
- Compatibility: GE industrial control systems
- Function: Supplies controlled DC current to a field winding
- Application: DC motor control, generator excitation, industrial automation
Detailed Product Overview
In large industrial motors and generators, the performance is controlled by manipulating the magnetic field. The GE DS2020FEANRP100A/RR is the module that handles this crucial task. Think of it as a specialized power supply that precisely controls the current to a large electromagnet (the field winding). By adjusting this current, the module can control the strength of the magnetic field, which in turn regulates the speed of a DC motor or the voltage output of a generator.
The 100 Amp rating indicates that this module is designed for more powerful applications than its 50 Amp counterpart. The RR in the part number signifies that it’s a remanufactured unit, which is a common and cost-effective solution for maintaining legacy industrial systems. This allows for the replacement of a critical component without the high cost of a new one, extending the life of the existing equipment.
