Hi,
I'm a new user...
Is there anyone that can explain what how an ELECTRICAL GENERATOR EXCITATION SYSTEM works and the different types? (static or not).

Thanks in advance

Regards

I am sure there is someone that can explain that. For what purpose? This sounds a lot like a school related question.

There are many different configurations and designs of excitation systems, they could be classified as rotating, static or a combination of DC or AC power source with a rectifier.

The IEEE Stds 421.5 , 421.2 and 1110 provide good references in this topic.
 
Does anyone remember the small sets (15 KVA or so) with a rotating exciter and a stationary field?
respectfully
