Functional Description

DS2020FECNRP005A is a field exciter module designed and developed by GE. It is a part of the General Electric Drive control system. It is a 24 A NRP Field Exciter Module with 5 A shunt. It works with either non-plugging (NRX) or plugging non-reversing field supplies (NRP)

Features

• It has seven jumpers and two terminal blocks with three terminals each. JP1 through JP7 are the jumpers' numbers. The GE Line Protection Board also includes a number of prong-type connectors. The board is mounted on standoffs on another drive component. The signal wires that connect to the board are generated by the component to which they are connected.
  The board and other components in the drive can overheat. Overheating can cause the components to wear out faster than expected and cause intermittent problems with the drive. Furthermore, excessive heat can cause an overheating trip condition, which causes the drive to shut down automatically.
• This would result in a loss of production and inconvenience to the site's other operations. It would also necessitate restarting the drive and locating a solution to the problem. The best practice is to properly install the drive, with cooling as a major consideration.
  The drive must be installed in a dust-free, dirt-free, and oil-free environment. This protects the components and extends the time between maintenance. The environment must be cool and free of other heat-generating drives and devices.
• A sufficient amount of space must be provided between the drive and other devices. If fans or exhaust hoods are needed, ensure that they are large enough to keep the environment cool. If the drive is separated from other devices by walls, make sure the walls are cool to the touch to prevent the drive from overheating.

Product Attributes

Field exciter boards play a critical role in control systems for generators and other electrical machines. Here are some of the key features of field exciter boards in control systems:

• Voltage Regulation: Field exciter boards regulate the voltage supplied to the field winding of the generator. This is important because the voltage supplied to the field winding directly affects the output voltage of the generator.
• Stability: Field exciter boards help to maintain stability in the generator output. They achieve this by regulating the magnetic field strength and, consequently, the output voltage and frequency.
• Control: Field exciter boards allow for precise control of the generator's output voltage and frequency. This is important in applications where the electrical output needs to be tightly controlled, such as in power plants.
• Protection: Field exciter boards are designed to protect the generator and other components of the control system from damage. They typically have built-in protection circuits that detect and respond to abnormal conditions such as overvoltage, under voltage, and overcurrent.
• Flexibility: Field exciter boards are designed to be flexible and adaptable to different applications. They can be configured to operate under a wide range of conditions and can be customized to meet the specific requirements of a particular application.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DS2020FECNRP005A?
It is a field exciter module designed and developed by GE

What are the jumpers on the GE Line Protection Board?
It has seven jumpers labeled JP1 through JP7. These are used to configure the board for different applications. The exact purpose of each jumper depends on the specific application.

What type of connectors does the Board use?
The board uses prong-type connectors. These are typically used for low-current applications, such as signal wires.

What is the risk of overheating in the Board and other drive components?
Overheating can cause the components to wear out faster than expected and cause intermittent problems with the drive. Excessive heat can also cause an overheating trip condition, which causes the drive to shut down automatically. This can result in a loss of production and inconvenience to the site's other operations.
