Products > Brushless Exciters
WEM brushless exciters provide customers with numerous advantages, including:
- Series redundant diode designs and parallel fused diode designs are available to ensure continuous service
- Various designs are available to match current, voltage and shaft mounting arrangements
- No exciter outboard bearing is required, which eliminates alignment problems associated with three-bearing arrangements
- The shaft-driven permanent magnetic generator pilot exciter provides a reliable source of exciter field power, eliminating bulky power transformers and dependence on station battery for field flashing
- Short circuit sustaining capability provides default current support
- No heavy bus work or cable connections are required between excitation cubicles and the generator, simplifying installations
- Large expensive field circuit breaker and field discharge resistors are not required
- Compact voltage regulator hardware for installation and control panel or switchgear eliminates large excitation cubicles
