Basler static exciter regulators can replace a number of exciter types, such as:

• Pilot/Main Exciters
• Buck-Boost Differential Exciters
• Amplidynes, Rototrols, Regulexes, Alterrex
• Water Wheel Turbine Exciters
   

Our Exciter Systems have NO preference towards prime movers, including power generation using:

• Synchronous Condensers
  (Synchronous Motor Control Options)
• Gas Turbines
• Steam Turbines
• Hydro Turbines
• Motor Drives
• Engine Driven Systems
   

• Your uprated generators require more field excitation than the existing rotary exciter can provide.
• Your rotary exciter has shorted windings.
• Carbon dust from commutator brush wear is causing stator overheating.
• You are experiencing belt problems associated with separately connected rotating exciters.
• You have safety concerns about asbestos insulation in your rotary exciters.
• You can’t find parts for obsolete electromechanical voltage regulators and associated devices.
• DC field breakers are causing operating problems, with expensive replacements and long delivery times.
• You need fast system voltage recovery to improve relay coordination and to avoid nuisance tripping.
• You want to interface your exciter with automated supervisory controls to streamline your unit startup sequence and automatic synchronizing procedures.
• You need the data recording capability and software tools available with digital exciter/regulators to simplify troubleshooting and to perform the periodic generator response testing required for NERC certification.
