AC Generator Exciter Stator

07/08/2012 5:08 PM

Hi all,

Will you pls help me on this

Its 15 kva 3 phase generator 380v 1500RPM 50HZ.6 exciter stater poles. I can't tell the brand name but its italian made.

It had been for long time not running because it has no AVR.

The problem is that the exciter stater has 4 wires, two poles facing each other is about 1mm2 wire size winding and they connected on series and their 2 ends are connected to the AVR which i can not find it.

The other 4poles windings are thiner wire size and they all connected on series and their 2 ends are conneted to the AVR, thats what the owner said.

The resistance of the thick wire windings is 1 ohm.

The resistance of the thin wire windings is about 7 ohms.

Can i just remove the thick wire two windings and rewind them same as the other 4 windings wire size so then i can connect them on series ''sure i will care about north and south pole issue'' and use normal AVR with 2 output wires?

I mean do you think it will work or there is some other things which i should do care about?

Many thanks

I think you would have to vary the rpm to match, somebody might have the formula...You might have to change the output to make it work....

hi mr solareagle,

thanks for your reply, but i did not understand when you said vary the rpm to match!

to be honest, i did tried it with 4 poles stater excitation and i got output from the generator, but i am worried about the output from the exciter rotor to the main generator rotor, it will not be smooth i think, because there is two poles are cancelled and there will be no output for while until it will reach the next energized poles.

do you meen i need to change the rpm to vary the hertz of the exciter output, i think when it will be 6poles it will be better than 4poles, as the hertz will be more and the output will be more smooth then rectified by the diodes to go to the main rotor winding.

i think so.

thanks
