The document describes the components and operation of an exciter field power supply (EFPS). The EFPS provides adjustable excitation to the synchronous motor's brushless exciter field. It consists of control devices like an adjustable auto transformer and protection devices like a surge suppressor. The EFPS rectifies AC voltage from the exciter to apply DC voltage to the synchronous motor's rotor for synchronization. Optional components include meters and failure detection modules.

out-of-step protection, including output for optional power factor indication meter Introduction n Terminal blocks for customer-supplied The exciter field power supply assembly provides interconnection adjustable excitation to the synchronous motor’s brushless exciter field (Figure 1). The following options components are optional:
The exciter is an AC generator mounted on the n Exciter diode failure detection module synchronous motor’s shaft. It produces AC voltage that is controlled in magnitude by the exciter field n Constant voltage transformer power supply. n Power factor meter This AC output voltage is rectified by the revolving rectifiers and is applied to the main rotor (field) of n Direct-reading DC voltage meter (exciter field the synchronous motor by the rotating controls voltage) on the exciter diode wheel at the proper time for synchronizing.
Description
The exciter field power supply consists of control
and power devices mounted and prewired on a steel insert panel.
It is normally mounted in a customer-supplied
enclosure; however, the enclosure can be provided to customer-required specifications. Above: Figure 1 showing typical EFPS interface dimensions
