151X1235DB15SA02:
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.
