151X1235DB15SA01 EX2100e Turbine Control Unit
151X1235DB15SA01: Belongs to GE's all-digital excitation control module,
mainly used for analog signal acquisition and processing in industrial
automation. It supports redundant configuration and is suitable for key
industrial scenarios such as power, metallurgy, and petrochemical
industries.
EX2100e: GE's third-generation fully digital excitation control system,
designed specifically for large generator sets (such as steam turbines, gas
turbines, and hydro turbines). Core functions include generator terminal voltage
regulation, reactive power control, excitation current management, and multiple
protection functions (such as over-excitation/under-excitation limiting, V/Hz
protection, and loss of excitation protection). It achieves voltage
stabilization and reactive power management by adjusting the generator rotor
magnetic field current.
PCM Module Function
The Power Conversion Module (PCM) is the core component of the EX2100e. It
uses a three-phase full-wave thyristor rectifier bridge (6 SCRs) to convert the
AC output from the excitation transformer into DC excitation current, driving
the generator rotor magnetic field. The module has a built-in redundant cooling
system (fan + aluminum fins) and supports hot-swapping to ensure stable
operation under high loads.
