DS3800DSFE

DS3800DSFE is a Synchronization Field Exciter Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark IV Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. A Synchronization Field Exciter Card is a component commonly used in electrical power systems, specifically in generators, to facilitate synchronization with the electrical grid. It is responsible for controlling the excitation system of the generator, which regulates the voltage and frequency of the generated power. The exciter card operates by controlling the field current in the generator's rotor windings. By adjusting the field current, the exciter card can manipulate the magnetic field strength, which in turn affects the voltage and frequency of the generated power. During the synchronization process, the exciter card ensures that the generator's output voltage and frequency match the grid's voltage and frequency. This alignment is crucial to prevent voltage and frequency discrepancies that could disrupt the stability and reliability of the electrical system.

FEATURES:

Synchronization Control:The daughter card may include circuitry and algorithms to facilitate synchronization between the generator and the electrical grid. It can generate synchronization signals and monitor parameters such as voltage, frequency, and phase to ensure a smooth and accurate synchronization process.

Field Excitation Control: The card may have the capability to regulate the field current in the generator's rotor windings. This control allows for adjustments to the magnetic field strength, which influences the output voltage and frequency of the generator.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): The daughter card might include AVR functionality to maintain a stable output voltage regardless of load variations. It can sense the generator's output voltage and make necessary adjustments to the excitation system to ensure voltage stability.

Protection Mechanisms: The card may incorporate protection features to safeguard the generator and the power system. This can include overvoltage protection, Undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and other fault detection mechanisms.

Monitoring and Diagnostics: The daughter card might provide monitoring capabilities to continuously track various parameters of the generator's operation. This information can be used for diagnostic purposes and to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Communication Interfaces: Depending on the system's requirements, the card may include communication interfaces (such as serial communication or Ethernet) to enable communication with external control systems, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, or other monitoring and control devices.
