The GE IS200EXHSG1AEB Exciter High-Speed Relay Driver Board (commonly called the EXHS board) is a critical component in the GE EX2100 Excitation Control System for large industrial generators (turbines).1
The primary function of this board is to provide the high-speed relay driving capability necessary for the protection and control of the generator’s field winding.2
⚡ Core Functions and Features
The EXHS board acts as the interface between the low-voltage control signals from the main controller and the high-power switching components of the exciter system.
| Function | Components Driven/Controlled | Importance |
| Field Flashing | Pilot Relays for Field Flashing Relays (53A and 53B) | Controls the initial application of voltage to establish the generator’s magnetic field. |
| De-Excitation | Pilot Relay for the De-Excitation Relay (KDEP) | Essential for quickly and safely collapsing the generator’s magnetic field during a trip or shutdown to protect the machine from damage (e.g., overvoltage). |
| Contactor Control | Drivers for DC Contactors (41) | Manages the main power contactors that connect the exciter output to the generator field. |
| System Interface | Status signal conditioning for EMIO boards | Conditions and sends feedback status signals (from 41, 53A, 53B, and crowbar circuits) back to the Exciter Main Input/Output (EMIO) boards for monitoring and analysis by the main controller. |
| Contact Wetting | Provides a 70 VDC supply | Powers the contacts (41, 53A, 53B) to “wet” them, ensuring reliable contact closure feedback for accurate monitoring. |
⚙️ Technical Details (IS200EXHSG1AEB)
- System: EX2100 Excitation Control System.3
- Controller Type: The ‘G1’ in the part number indicates it is typically used in redundant control (TMR) setups, connecting to the M1, M2, and C (or C1, C2, C3) controllers via the EMIO boards.4
- Connectivity: It connects to the EMIO boards via the Exciter Backplane Board (EBKP) using ribbon cables.5
- Reliability: In a redundant system, the commands and feedback signals are often implemented in a 2-out-of-3 voting circuit to enhance reliability and prevent false trips.6
- Suffix/Revision: The ‘AEB’ suffix denotes a specific manufacturing revision and configuration of the board within the product lifecycle, often indicating minor component or feature updates compared to earlier revisions (like ‘AAA’ or ‘A’).
The board’s “High-Speed” designation underscores its function in crucial protective relays that must operate in milliseconds to ensure generator integrity and grid stability.7
