DECS-250N, Digital Excitation Control System with Negative Forcing

The DECS-250N is a complete digital excitation control system. Total control in a compact package means precise voltage, var and power factor regulation, negative field-forcing capabilities, and exceptional system response, plus generator and motor protection. An optional Power System Stabilizer helps users meet stringent grid code compliance requirements. The DECS-250N offers extreme flexibility in a cost-effective, easy-to-use package.

Benefits

  • Reduce setup time with Basler's intuitive BESTCOMSPlus® software that simplifies complex setup with simple drag-and-drop programmable logic, visual real-time strip chart capabilities, and cutting edge auto PID selection capabilities.
  • The revolutionary auto tuning function automatically establishes optimum PID and gain settings, taking the guesswork out of system setup, reducing commissioning time and cost, while maximizing overall system performance.
  • Network Load Sharing provides easy implementation in complex paralleled systems.
  • The Offline Simulator in BESTlogic™Plus helps identify and troubleshoot logic without the need for expensive physical hardware.
