    The document summarizes the key components of a 500MW brushless exciter: 1. The PMG (permanent magnet generator) produces AC power through electromagnetic induction and feeds it to the AVR for control and usage. It contains 16 poles and soft iron pole pieces. 2. A blower couples to the exciter shaft to rotate at 3000 rpm in order to cool the exciter, as i2r losses cause heating from the high voltage DC produced. 3. The armature is the main exciter, consisting of an active region and overhang region with a two layer wave winding to produce a high output current from its 144 conductors housed in 72 slots.

    COMPONENTS OF A 500MW BRUSHLESS EXCITER

    1.

    PMG (PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR)

    : It rotates in the electromagnet field produced by the stator winding to produce AC by Faradays Law of Electromagnetic Induction . This AC is fed to the AVR from where after being brought to a convenient level it is sent to the control panel for further usage . It is also known as the Pilot Excitor and contains 16 poles . On each pole pieces of soft iron are screwed at 110 N-M torque .

    2.

    BLOWER

    : It performs the function of cooling . As the exciter rotates at 3000 rpm , a high voltage DC is produced . The i2 r losses cause the components of exciter to heat up . So an inbuilt structure like a fan with inclined blades is coupled with the exciter shaft to rotate at 3000 rpm and cause cooling .This is known as the blower .

    3.

    ARMATURE

    : It is also called the main exciter . It consists of the Active region and the overhang region .It has two layer wave winding . The wave winding is used instead of lap winding because we want a high output current . It has 72 slots with 2 conductors per slot making a total of 144 armature conducters .The stampings are made of silicon steel and it has a separate section for Earth Fault Monitoring.

    4.

    BALANCING RING :

    It is a circular ring which contains some balancing weights . Its sole purpose is to see that the rotation of the armature and the diode wheels on the exciter shaft are synchronised .It is made of Brass.

    5.

    DIODE WHEELS : There are two diode wheels diode wheel A


    and diode wheel B . one is positive and the other is negative. Each wheel contains diodes i. _fuses(800 A, 800 V) ii. _RC filters iii. _heat sinks b. The function of the diodes is to convert AC into DC . The RC filters remove the ripples which arise due to the AC to DC conversion . The Fuses are there for safety purpose and they blow up when current in them exceeds the rated current. The heat sink absorbs the excessive heat . They also contain air gaps for testing purpose .

    COLLECTION RINGS
    silver coated .

    : They are made of copper and are

    INTERMEDIATE RINGS

    : They are made up of brass and they contain CC Bolts (Current Carrying Bolts)

    AC LEAD : Lines for carrying AC. DC LEAD : Lines for carrying DC . They are four in number.
