New DECS-2100 Application Note
11/7/2017

The DECS-2100 Digital Excitation Control System, Basler's most flexible control system, supports up to 16 power drawers. Each drawer consists of a six-SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) power bridge and they are often paralleled to achieve redundancy. Bridge redundancy increases reliability in the unlikely event of a bridge failure and helps prevent costly downtime.
A Basler
application note presents the benefits and forms of bridge redundancy. It also explores the different firing methods for SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) to achieve proper balance.
