The GE DS3815DPAA is a Diode Card for the Generrex Excitation System, not the GE Speedtronic Mark IV. The Generrex system is a static power source that provides DC current to the field winding of a generator to create a magnetic field. This is a critical function for a generator.
Function and Purpose
The primary purpose of the DS3815DPAA diode card is rectification, which is the process of converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). In the Generrex excitation system, power is drawn from the generator’s windings as AC. This AC power must be converted to DC to be supplied to the generator’s field winding. The diodes on the DS3815DPAA card ensure that the current flows in only one direction, effectively creating a DC current from the AC input.
This process is essential for controlling the magnetic field within the generator, which in turn controls the generator’s output voltage. The “POL” in the part name likely refers to its polarity within the circuit. These cards are often arranged in a bridge rectifier configuration to utilize both positive and negative halves of the AC waveform, resulting in a smoother DC output.
Related Components
As a diode card for the Generrex system, the DS3815DPAA works in conjunction with other components of the excitation system:
- Thyristors: Some Generrex systems use a combination of diodes and thyristors to provide a more controlled output.
- Exciter Transformers: These transformers take power from the generator’s windings and provide it to the diode card.
- Control Cards: Other cards in the Generrex system control the amount of current supplied to the generator’s field by adjusting the firing of the thyristors or regulating the output of the diode bridge.
