Brushless A.C Generator ‘on machine provided witha filters atthe ar ile, the cleaning condition of the fter should be monitored. In machines having closed-circuit cooling, the ai-to- water cooler is placed transversely in the top-mounted box in transverse arrangement, in front ofthe excitation control unt. Tha primary cooling ar circulated by the internal fan i e- cooled in he cooler and passed through the excitation control unit the excite and the main machine. Given the necessary provisions, the machine can be ‘adapted for emergency operation wth open circuit cooling in case of cooing water falure.
