GE DS2020FECNRP015A Field Exciter Module

GE DS2020FECNRP015A Field Exciter Module is a specialized power electronic circuit board assembly used in General Electric Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control Systems and their 1$\text{DC}2000$ Digital Adjustable Drives.2

It is a critical component for controlling the magnetic field of large synchronous motors or generators.3

⚡ Core Function and Capacity

The module’s main function is to provide and precisely regulate the Direct Current (4$\text{DC}$) excitation to the field winding of a synchronous machine.5

  • Excitation Control: It converts 6$\text{AC}$ input power into a controlled 7$\text{DC}$ output to manage the field current.8 This current is essential for controlling the strength of the magnetic field, which, in turn, regulates the generator’s output voltage and reactive power (9$\text{VAr}$).10
  • Current Rating: The 015A in the part number can signify either a 15 Amp Shunt Rating or be related to the field supply rating. Sources confirm the module is compatible with fields up to 24 Amps DC.11
  • Plugging Compatibility: The NRP in the functional acronym ($\mathbf{FECNRP}$) stands for Non-Reversing Pluging. This means the module can operate with Plugging field supplies, which use a brief reversal of field current for controlled, rapid deceleration of the motor.
