GE DS2020FECNRP025A Field Exciter Board

The GE DS2020FECNRP025A Field Exciter Board is a specialized power electronic circuit board assembly used in General Electric Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control Systems and industrial drives like the DC2000 Series.1

Its function is essential for the stable control of large synchronous motors and generators.2

⚡ Core Function and Capacity

The module’s primary role is to provide and precisely regulate the Direct Current (3$\text{DC}$) excitation to the field winding of a synchronous machine.4

  • Excitation Control: It is the power component that manages the 5$\text{DC}$ current flow to the field winding, which creates the machine’s magnetic field.6 This control is critical for regulating the generator’s output voltage and reactive power ($\text{VAr}$).
  • Current Rating: The 025A in the part number indicates its maximum 7$\text{DC}$ current capacity, rated for 25 Amps of field excitation.8 This module is compatible with fields up to $\mathbf{24 \text{ Amps}}$.
  • Designation:
    • FECN stands for Field Exciter Control Non-reversing.9
    • NRP (Non-Reversing Plugging) indicates it is compatible with Plugging field supplies, where the field current may be briefly reversed for controlled, rapid motor deceleration.10
