    Variable speed induction generator

    Hi guys, We have a generator project that requires the induction generator to operate at a variable speed. We are hoping that by using an ABB ACS800-11 drive that we can generate into the local system. This drive has an "active front end" so that regenerated energy is transferred back into the...

    Over rate excitation transformer for harmonics?

    Thanks for the response guys. We are looking to purchase a spare transformer where one unit has already had a fault and been repaired. We have had quite a varied response to date, despite telling the manufacturers the rating of the existing unit, so the question was more to verify the offers...

    AVR replacement for coumpound field main exciter

    Hi guys, could I please get some advise on dc generators? We are currently replacing the Voltage regulator for a synchronous generator that uses a compound field dc generator to supply the main field current. The existing voltage regulator is a mueseum piece that controls a rheostat to change...
