GE DS2020FECNEX015A Field Exciter Module

GE DS2020FECNEX015A Field Exciter Module is a specialized power electronic circuit board assembly used in General Electric’s Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System and associated industrial drive panels.1

The primary function of this module is to control and regulate the electrical excitation (2$\text{DC}$ current) supplied to the field winding of a synchronous generator or motor.3

⚡ Core Function: Field Excitation Control

This module’s operation is vital for maintaining the stability and voltage output of the large rotating machinery it controls:4

  • Voltage Regulation: By precisely adjusting the 5$\text{DC}$ current in the field winding, the module manages the strength of the magnetic field.6 This allows for the accurate regulation and stabilization of the generator’s output voltage and reactive power.7
  • Current Rating: The 015A in the part number indicates its maximum 8$\text{DC}$ current capacity, rated for 15 Amps of field excitation.9
  • Non-Reversing/Non-Plugging: The FECN functional acronym stands for Field Exciter Control Non-reversing.10 The EX often implies a Non-Plugging ($\text{NRX}$) compatible design, meaning it is intended for field supplies that do not use plugging (rapid reversal of current) for braking.
