Description of view
The exciter unit consists of the following assembly groups (see ^jpended circuit diagram):
' choke [6]
' current transformer [7]
stationary rectifier stack [8] with settling resistor r31
electronic voltage regulator [9]
All imits are installed on a panel on the N side end shield. Exciter unit and rotating rectifier stack can be accessed l^
taking off the hood and opening the clamps (for instructions on how to take off the hood see section 6.2 "Maintenance ,
instructions").
Working principle
Theremanentvoltage produced in the stator windiog [1] of the generator causes a small current to flow through the
stator winding [4] of the exciter via choke [6] and rectifier stadc [8] thus setting off self-excitation.
The choke [6] limits the exciter current of the exciter. The exact value depends on the air gap between core and yoke
of the chdce. The required air gap is adjusted by adding insulating material. The load current flows through the
current transformer [Tj. When load is put on the generator, the secondary current of the current transformer [7] is
added to the choke current After rectification in the stationary rectifier stadc [8] - a six-pulse bridge circuit - , this
alternating exciter currentflowsto the stator winding [4] of the exciter. In order to protect the diodes against voltage
surges, both the stationary rectifier stack [8] and the rotattug recitifier stadc [5] are equipped with varistors [si], [s2].
Choke current and secondary current of the current transformer are adjusted such as to permanently maintain a
generator voltage of ^jprox. 10 % above the nominal generator voltage while the generator rotates at its nominal
speed and the voltageregulatoris disconnected.
Every lime the nominal generator voltage is exceeded, the voltage r^ulator [9] periodically switches on. settling
resistor r31 that is located in parallel to the stator winding of the exdter [4]. This ensures that the teminal voltage of
the generator is kept at the value set by the set-point adjuster '^r'':(:::..'y^-y-'--r:.--r::-;rn,,-:^-^ ^.y. ^; v v; :J:t: i: :
(NOTE The chosen t^^pings of the winding to choke and current transformer have been optimally adjusted

Description
1.5 Voltage regulator
Design
The voltage regulator is located in a sealed casing protected against dust and dirt. The casings contains the
potentiometers for setting the various regulator functions.
The potentiometers are equipped with a self-locking multi-speed mandrel drive that is secured against overspeed by a
sliding clutch. The setting range is approximately 10 revolutions.
The following regulator types are used
R 10-K Standard type providing voltage regulation and staticization for parallel operation. Designed with
smoothing c^jacitor CK and varistor s2.
R 10-KC In addition to the R 10 K fimctions, this type provides a cos cp - regulation part. It can 6e used either as a
staticizing regulator or as a cos cp - regulator.
R 10-KF In addition to the R 10 K functions, this type provides a cascading, frequency-dependent voltage
regulation.

It can be replaced without exception by the other type; leave terminal 12 unoccupied in this case.
All R 10 series regulators have the same dimensions.

Danger!
Observe during all setting and other work to be carried out on exciter and regulator that all
components carry mains potential. Only trained specialized stafT are allowed to change settings
using a suitable tool.
2.1 Excitation, de-energizing
Excitation
Self-excitation is provided by the remanent voltage.
If self-excitation of the generator does not work, excitation can be induced by briefly ^jplying an external voltage
(6 or 12 V battery) to terminals K3 (battery plus), K4 (battery minus) in the terminal box of the generator (Figure 3).

Measure the generator voltage during the excitation process. Remove the external voltage
source immediately, when the generator voltage rises. Danger of inverse voltage!
De-energizing .
Use a contactor or suitable switch to produce a jshort-circuit between terminals K3 and K4.

Behaviour during operation and notes on use
Manual synchronization
Use the set-point adjuster to set the generator voltage to the mains voltage. After setting smallest frequency and phase
differences possible by means of a synchronoscope, the generator can be switched on. To avoid the occurrence of
inverse power after switching on the generator, the generator frequency should be about 0.2 Hz above the mains
frequency.
Quick synchronization
Use an electronic synchronization device to automatically adjust the system to smallest possible voltage, frequency and
phase differences that also takes switching delay times in the zero crossover range of the difference voltage into
account for switching on.
2.8.4 Parallel operation with statics
ATTENTION ! Check whether the jumper between terminals R4 and R5 of the regulator have been removed.
Depending on current and power fector, the generator voltage characteristics have a decline. The voltage drop can be
set by the "Statics" potentiometer on the regulator (Figure 4). The voltage drop is increased by turning the regulator
clockwise. In the factory, the statics is set to approx. 2 % (in relation to idle voltage) at nominal current and a power

static characteristics are nearly the same, the reactive power (in relation to the nominal power of ithe corresponding
generator) is distributed proportionally.
ATTENTION ! Make sure to do generator adjustment before starting operation. . .

Troubleshooting
9.2 Voltage problems
If the generator produces no voltage or unusual voltages, try to find the problem in the exciter, unless a winding has
' given up. The first step always is to check all connectors and cables in the terminal box and on the exciter components
for proper connections and safe contacts.
ATTENTION ! use the wiring diagram for troubleshooting. Observe wire numbers and colours.
9.3 Checking and replacing the rectifier diode
The test is made with a continuity check instrument. The diodes must forward the current in one direction and not do
so in the other direction.

Setting instructions:
The R 10-KF controller has two potentiometers on its operation panel for setting of frequenqf-dependent control.
This potentiometer permits setting of the break point below which voltage drop shall occur. This setting is
possible in the range between 40 and 59 Hz. A LED is provided and lights as soon as break frequency falls
below the limit. For setting, the motor speed shall be changed until the desired value is reached and the
potentiometer be turned until the LED lights. Manufacturer's setting is 48.5 Hz for 50 Hz service and 58 Hz
for 60 Hz service.
U/f
This potentiometer is used to set the steepness of voltage drop below the break frequency. The range up to
AU/ An = 2 may be set. The manufacturer setting is a ratio of 1, i.e. 1 % of speed (frequency) drop
corresponds to 1 % of voltage drop (for instance, on the 400 V generator the voltage is lowered by 8 V per
1 Hz of frequency reduction).
