Short description of the excitation system СВТГ-600/250УХЛ4
A simplified structural diagram for the excitation system СВТГ-600/250УХЛ4 is given in the figure below, where:
ТВ – dry type converter transformer with the capacity of 400kVA, 6.3kV/0.462kV; uk≈ 6%, the valveside windings current 450A. The transformer comprises built-in current transformers at phases and voltage transformers for protection and measuring on the high-voltage side. To provide two-level temperature control the transformer is equipped with a set of Pt100 temperature probes and relays to process output signals.
ШКАП – the cubicle comprises input and output switching units that provide connection/disconnection of inputs and outputs of the exciter’s power part to the power source and load in on-line modes, and also switching off in emergency modes (a field suppression breaker – АГП). The cubicle also includes a generator initial excitation system (a ballast resistor can be a separate unit) and an insulation monitor module.
Also the ШКАП cubicle contains the relay part of the СВТГ control system, a set of switching devices for connection of МПСУ modules and other consumers to sources of operating voltages 3х380V, 50Hz and =220V (=110V if required). The cubicle is supplied with corresponding measuring devices and elements for control, adjustment and indication.
ШСВ – the cubicle contains two sets of the excitation system (operational and stand-by sets). Each set comprises cells of the microprocessor control system (МПСУ) and a three-phase thyristor bridge, to the arms of which two parallels “thyristor-fuse-inductive divider” are coupled.
The cubicle ШСВ is supplied with units monitoring burned fuses (thyristors), necessary elements for control, adjustment and indication and a human-machine interface. МПСУ power supplies forming a set of stabilized supply voltages are made in a form of PWM-sources. The PWM-sources operate both from the three-phase line with operating voltage ~380V and from 220V line (=110V if required).
The power part of the cubicle ШСВ is perfomed on powerful thyristors installed in two airshafts each having a separate fan. The main operation mode of the power part of ШСВ cubicle is with natural air-cooling. 
The cubicle ШСВ comprises all necessary measuring devices and elements for control, adjustment and indication.
 
 
Excitation control system
Digital control system
Static excitation systems are equipped with a modern modular-type microprocessor control system of our own design that provides high control accuracy (± 0.5%) and fast response.
The control system is built on the basis of custom-designed, high-performance, digital signal processor TMS320 from Texas Instruments.
 
Local control
A graphic control terminal is standard for excitation systems and is implemented in the form of stationary (fixed) device located at the door of the control section in the cubicle.
The terminal is used for local control and monitoring of parameters. Besides, the terminal can be used to change parameters of the software. Monitoring and control over parameters of the excitation system can be implemented with the help of a personal computer using one of the common industrial Fieldbus protocols.
