الوصف

The GE part number IS200EPCTG1A is an Exciter Pulse Card for the EX2100 Excitation Control System. Its primary function is to generate the precise, timed electrical pulses that control the firing of the SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) in the exciter’s rectifier bridge. This is crucial for regulating the generator’s field and, in turn, its output voltage. ⚡


 

Function and Key Features

 

A generator’s excitation system uses an SCR bridge to convert AC power into the DC power needed for the generator’s field windings. The EPCT card is the brain behind this process, ensuring accurate and stable control.

  • Pulse Generation: The board receives control signals from the main controller (like a DSPX) and then generates a series of timed electrical pulses called “gate pulses.” These pulses are sent to the gate terminals of the SCRs in the bridge.
  • Precision Timing: The timing of these pulses is critical. By precisely controlling the firing angle of the SCRs, the board can regulate the amount of DC current flowing into the generator’s field, which in turn controls the generator’s output voltage. This is a core function of the excitation system.
  • System Integration: The EPCT card is a crucial part of the control chain. It works in conjunction with the main control card and other I/O boards to form the complete excitation control system.
  • Robust Design: Like all GE industrial control components, it’s built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant.
