    The Stamford Diode Failure Detector senses ripple current in an exciter's output to provide indication of failed diodes. It has a 7 second delayed response and voltage free contacts to signal faults. Receiving early warnings allows planned generator maintenance to replace diodes before damage occurs.

    Diode Failure Detector

    The Stamford Diode Failure Detector (DFD) is suitable for use TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
    with all Stamford Generators. It senses the level of ripple current
    in the exciter output to provide indication of a failed diode, either SUPPLY VOLTAGE DC 12-28V
    short or open circuit. AC 100 - 140V
    or 200 - 280V
    Frequently demanded in the oil and gas industries this warning
    device is increasingly required by many other users who SUPPLY CURRENT DC 0.2A max
    recognise the benefits of early failure warning. The DFD has a
    delayed response of 7 second to avoid ‘nuisance trip’ signals OUTPUT Voltage Free Contacts
    before indicating the fault via voltage free changeover contacts. Isolation 2kV
    1 Pole Changeover
    Rating 5A @ 30Vdc/240 ac
    By receiving a quick warning of a single failed diode the user
    may arrange shutdown (manually or automatically) of the REPONSE TIME (Approx) 7 seconds
    engine. Alternatively on receipt of the warning, the exciter
    field current or voltage can be monitored, reducing load if ENVIRONMENTAL
    necessary, to ensure that recommended levels are not
    exceeded. In this way the generator set can continue to provide Operating temp - 40°C to + 70°C
    emergency supplies until a planned controlled shutdown when Storage temp - 55°C to + 80°C
    the necessary diode replacements can be made. Humidity 0 to 60°C 95%RH
    Vibration 20 - 100 Hz 30mm/seconds
    Of course a Stamford Series 3 separately excited system offers 100 Hz - 2kHz 2.0g
    the safety of over-excitation protection within the AVR. But the
    DFD actually diagnoses if the fault lies with the rectifier diodes, Not suitable for mounting in generator terminal box. Switch-
    and so encourages the best course of action. board or bedplate mounting recommended.

    ● Reliable solid-state warning of rotating rectifier diode


    failure.

    ● Jumper Selectable D.C. (12 or 24V) or


    AC (120 or 240V).

    ● Simple connections to generator.

    ● Simple test facility.
