Hardware
The EX2100 is available in several configurations to provide flexibility for full static
excitation systems. These systems can support potential (voltage only) or compound
(voltage and current) source.
The architecture is one control rack, the customer interface sub-system, operator in-
terface device, control power input module and the power module. The power mod-
ule consists of a bridge interface sub-system, power bridge, ac and dc filter networks,
and ac and/or dc isolation devices.
The EX2100 supports Ethernetä local area network (LAN) communication to:
• Control System Toolbox (toolbox)
• Mark VI turbine control system and HMI using the Ethernet Global Data (EGD)
protocol
• Static Starter
• OnSite center
It can also support a RS-232 ModBus interface to a customer Distributed Control
System (DCS).
The EX2100 incorporates a powerful diagnostic system and a control simulator to
support fast installation, tuning of control constants, and training.
The following two figures include a one-line diagram overview of the EX2100 sys-
tem, and all the printed wiring boards (PWBs) in the EX2100, along with major in-
terconnections.

DC Interrupting Device
For most applications a field interrupting dc contactor in the rectifier bridge dc-
positive output is used to connect the exciter to the generator field leads. The dc
contactor and the de-excitation module (SCR or diode-based) together form the in-
ternal field breaker function found in previous excitation systems used to remove
stored energy in the generator field during shutdown or trip events. Often, two dc
contactors are provided to interrupt both the positive and negative field leads.
For some applications, an external exciter field breaker is offered. DC field breakers
interrupt the output of the exciter and use a shorting contact to de-excite the genera-
tor field through a discharge resistor. Some dc field breakers may use a static de-
excitation device in place of the shorting contractor, which is functionally the same
as the combination of a dc contactor and static de-excitation module.
AC Isolation Device
An internal manual ac disconnect switch is offered for small to medium size systems,
below 600 V ac. This switch serves as a disconnect device between the secondary of
the power potential transformer and the power bridge in the static exciter. In most
cases, it is a molded case, 3-phase, non-automatic, panel-mounted switch, which is
manually operated. This switch permits the customer to close and open the ac-input
supply.
An external ac disconnect breaker can be offered for larger systems. This breaker
serves as a disconnect device between the secondary of the power potential trans-
former and the static exciter. It may be a molded-case or a vacuum breaker support-
ing remote control. This breaker permits the customer to close and open the ac-input
supply.
Crowbar Module
A crowbar circuit is applied for most hydro applications (salient pole generators) and
some steam or gas applications (wound rotor generators). During a pole slip event
(when the generator loses synchronism with the power grid), high voltages can be
induced from the generator stator back on the generator field. This high voltage can
damage the excitation system and/or the generator field if the induced voltage rises
above destructive levels. The crowbar safely limits the induced voltage below the de-
structive level for the excitation system and the generator field.
The hardware used to implement the crowbar function is the de-excitation module
with the thyristor direction changed. The load for the crowbar must be a resistor, but
the resistor can be shared with the de-excitation function. The functionality of the
crowbar, thyristor with snubber, and conduction sensor, are the same as for the de-
excitation module. The crowbar’s thyristor is turned on when the anode to cathode
voltage of the SCR exceeds a certain value. Once the crowbar conducts, the reverse
current induced by the pole slip event has a conduction path thus limiting the voltage
on the generator field and exciter output.

Cabinet
The exciter lineup is supplied in a NEMA 1 / IP20 freestanding, indoor-type metal
cabinet for floor mounting installation. The lineup consists of several cabinets bolted
together, with cable entry through the top or bottom. The equipment is designed to
operate in an ambient temperature range of 0° C to 40° C, but custom applications
may support up to 50° C.
Each cabinet consists of a rigid, self-supporting, enclosed panel with a full-length
door to provide easy access to the equipment. The panel back serves as the rear of
the cabinet. Each door is equipped with a suitable handle, three-point latch, and pro-
visions for locking. The power bridge doors do not have handles, but are bolted
closed to support code requirements. The standard cabinet color is ANSI-70 (light
gray) on both exterior and interior surfaces.
Overview
The EX2100 software is designed to support high performance and structured to help
the customer and field engineers to understand, install, commission, tune, and main-
tain the excitation system. The following sections define major software functions

Software Transducers
Integral to the high performance of the EX2100 is the sophisticated software trans-
ducering system. The generator Potential Transformers (PTs) and Current Trans-
formers (CTs) are the source of the control signals needed by the automatic
(generator terminal voltage) regulator, most limiters, and protection functions. The
system simultaneously samples the ac waveform at high speed and in software uses
advanced mathematical algorithms to digitally generate the variables needed.

VAR/PF Control
This function is accomplished by slow ramping of the AVR reference setpoint. The
VAR/PF is selected by operator command and the var/pf value is controlled using
the raise/lower pushbuttons. When the exciter interfaces with a Mark VI turbine
control system, this function is typically included in the Mark VI system.
The transformer tests are in general accordance with ANSI Std. C57.91 for dry type
transformers and ANSI Std. C57.90 for liquid filled transformers. The tests include:
• Resistance measurements by any of the methods described in the applicable
ANSI standard
• No-load loss and excitation test
• Applied potential test
• Induced potential test
• Losses and impedance tests
• Ratio tests
• Phase relation test
