Best Answer

Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.

Where can a DC exciter be found?

It can be found on an electrical generator set. It is used to supply the DC voltage for the field coils.


What is a exciter generator?

its creates the magnetic field trough the electricity,which we called exciter for it.we send some electric shocks to the field coils,then it will magnetized the stater of the generator. When Diesel or petrol engine rotates the rotter of the generator, EXCITED stater act as a magnet. Depend on alternator`s design,rotter or stater one always EXITED to be a magnet. When engine turns the Alternator against the magnetic field,electricity is produced.


Why the pilot exciter having high frequency in electrical generator?

I'm no expert but I believe the high frequency is due to the number of poles (North-South) of the pilot exciter. The frequency of a generator is directly link to its speed and the number of poles. Most generators will run at 1800RPM and will have 4 poles to achieve 60Hz. The pilot exciter being on the same shaft will also run at 1800 rpm but will probably have more then two poles. finding the formula for frequency of a generator should help you in answering your question. The next question should be why would you build a pilot exciter with multiple poles and a high frequency? The output of the pilot exciter is going to be rectified to DC so it would make sense to do it with a high frequency and get a smoother DC signal out of the rectifier.


What is ceiling voltage in exciter?

ceiling voltage is the maximum field voltage that the exciter can withstand before going into unstability


Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?

Alternator and ac generator is equal

What is the function of exciter rotor and stator in Generator Operation?

In the operation of a standard generator, the exciter rotor and stator provide DC-type energy to an AC-type supply. This allows the exciter to maintain a constant DC source.

How generator exciter works?

Generator Exciter is a new way for people to generate serial keys for pirated software for various companies. This is well known as something called a "keygen".


What is the excitation of the generator?

The rotor must have a magnetic field in order to generator voltage in stator winding. The exciter circuit generates this DC filed in the rotor.

How to make a light flashing generator work with a cell battery?

If a generator turns off or will not start up due to loss of magnetism, it is possible to use a 12 volt battery to make it work. You have to remove the exciter fields, measure the exciter field resistance, connect the F+ to the positive end of the battery, hold the F- lead near the insulated part of the lead wire and place it on the negative end of the battery for 5 to 10 seconds, then reconnect F+ and F- to the regulator.?æ


What is the exciter voltage needs to test the generator?

Because the voltage is fixed (within allowable limits) whereas the current varies according to load.


What different rotary exciter and static exciter?

Static exciter mounts as part of the motor control package, separate from the motor. Rotor exciter mounts on the rotor of the motor.
