(3) Constant Q operation mode (Q: reactive power) (4) Constant COS® operation mode (COS®: power factor) (5) Constant a mode (a: ilicon-controlled trigger angle) When external excitation starting system is operating or testing, maintain fully controlled bridge’s control angel on decided level. 1.3.2, Automatic operation exciting modes (1) Automatic (constant pressure) normal excitation starting Constant Uf mode and excitation starting in non-experimental status: in light of normal voltage of busbar (115%Ue=busbar voltage >85%Ue, Ue: rated voltage), track bus bar voltage excitation starting, that is the generator voltage should be equal to the bus bar voltage after excitation starting. In the light of abnormal bus bar voltage (bus bar voltage >115%Ue or <858&Ue, rated voltage excitation starting, that is the generator voltage should be equal to the rated voltage after excitation starting.) (2) Excitation starting Automatic mode (constant pressure) excitation startingConstant Uf mode and excitation starting in non-experimental status: press the test button on the operation panel to enter experimental status. The rated value of excitation starting should be controlled by the add-excitation and subtract-excitation buttons. Designed range of excitation starting is from 20% to 130% of rated voltage. (3) Constant (excitation) current excitation starting Excitation starting in constant IL mode: press the constant IL button on the operation panel to enter constant IL excitation starting mode. Here, starting-up will build the voltage automatically to about 20% of rated voltage. 1.3.3 Excitation limits (1) Instant limit of largest excitation current: limit value should be within 1.5-2.0 times of rated excitation current based on national standards.

(6) Instant limit of stator over voltage: during test run, over voltage is 1.30Ue and 1.15Ue in other conditions (according to the requirements of power plant). In case of excessive voltage at generator end, restrictor should immediately reverse and limit the power. (7) Frequency ratio limit: Proportion of single generator limited end voltage to frequency should be no more than rated limit.

(4) Add and subtract-excitation operation fault tolerant measures Add-excitation is invalid in the following conditions: Over-excitation current, over generator end voltage, over reactive power, exceed the upper limit of adjustable range. add-excitation is invalid in the following conditions: under excitation limit, exceed the lower limit of adjustable range. It is invalid to run excitation increase/reduction for 5 seconds successively in any condition (around 3%Uf of rated pressurization and decompression) to avoid reduce excitation to its limit by mistake. (5) Power bridge fault tolerant measures To adopt two groups of rectification bridges. In case of one group of rectification bridge shuts down, the machine can withdraw from it.

[Constant COS] button (with automatic lock): let regulator change into constant power factor operation mode by pressing buttons and LED light will be on. [{De-excitation] button (with automatic clock): let regulator change into inverted de-excitation status by pressing buttons and LED light of de-excitation will be on (it is invalid to press de-excitation button after network integration) [Excitation starting] button: cannot start excitation automatically, use manual excitation- in case of low residual voltage istance operation excitation starting for voltage building: Constant COS button junction: let regulator change into constant COS operation and network integration is valid (invalid before network integration)Constant Uf operation mode is available if constant IL, constant a and constant COS are all invalid, this is the fundamental operation mode of regulator. If more than one modes are running after network integration, press the buttons in sequence of [constant COS] , [constant a] , {constant IL ] and constant Uf] . 2. 24 LED indication lights are: network integration, zero boost, under excitation, over excitation, add excitation, subtract _ excitation, de-excitation, constant IL, constant a, rotor over pressure, collection 1, collection 2, bus bar zero pressure, modulation wire breakage, instrument transformer wire breakage, synchronous unconventionality, test, excitation starting, power cabinet failure, excitation-assistance operation, constant COS, stator over pressure, signaling 1 and signaling 2. Network integration is used to indicate whether generator is integrated into the network. If it is on, it means it has been integrated. Zero boost panels is used to indicate whether LH-WLTO2 inner zero boost panel has been pressed (short circuit). If there is short circuit, the light will be on. Under excitation limit is used to indicate under excitation limit action. Over excitation limit is used to indicate over excitation limit action. Bus bar zero pressure is used to indicate whether bus bar voltage is in normal status. In case bus bar voltage is between 80% and 115% of rated voltage, it indicates that bus bar voltage is normal, otherwise, it is abnormal. If it is abnormal (fusion of bus bar voltage measurement loop included), turn on the light of bus bar zero pressure. Modulation wire breakage is used to indicate whether modulation measurement loop has malfunction (fusion of modulation measurement loop included). If so, the light will be on. Instrument transformer wire breakage is used to indicate whether instrument transformer measurement loop has malfunction (fusion of instrument transformer measurement loop included). If so, the light will be on. Stator over pressure is used to indicate empty load stator over pressure protection.Rotor over pressure is used to indicate rotor over pressure protection. Power cabinet malfunction is used to indicate whether silicon controlled power cabinet draw is loose or withdrawn. In case of fusion and stop of blower machine, the light will be on. Synchronous unconventionality is used to indicate whether synchronous signal is normal. In case of problem with synchronous signal loop, the light will be on. There are usually two reasons for synchronous unconventionality: breakage of synchronous signal measurement loop or breakage of modulation and instrument transformer at the same time. Test is used to indicate the working mode of regulator. If the light is on, it means regulator is in test mode. Test allows 135% voltage upper limit and +10% voltage step. Constant IL is used to indicate the working mode of regulator. If the light is on, it means regulator is in constant IL mode. Subtract excitation is used to indicate the status of regulator. If the light is on, it means the regulator is in subtract-excitation mode. If it is in under excitation limit status, it can lock automatically to subtract excitation. Add excitation is used to indicate status of regulator. If the light is on, it means the regulator is in add-excitation mode. If it is in over excitation limit status, it can lock automatically to add excitation. De-excitation is used to indicate status of regulator. If the light is on, it means the regulator is in de-excitation mode. 3. 9 thin-film buttons: (7,({1,{>1,€<—], (+1, ([—1, [confirm], [cancel] , restore] . 9 buttons are used to detect, check and revise excitation system operation parameters and status.

It boasts convenient and easy test, installation and maintenance, and saves site occupancy, providing perfect plans for some clients. (Please refer to LH-WLTO2 exciter set function and performance for more information.)2. Excitation equipment maintenance and troubleshooting 2.1. Safety Rules While working inside excitation cubicle, there must be warning signs, or serious personal injury may be caused by contact with live components. So, the live components above 50V inside excitation cubicle are protected during system design. Maintainers without necessary training and prevention measures are not allowed to work in the excitation cubicle. The following descriptions are applicable to the unusual conditions for the high voltage excitation system. ‘The components directly connected with excitation transformer auxiliary side and generator rotor magnetic field windings inside excitation cubicle, such as radiators, copper banks etc, have such extremely high voltage that it’s very dangerous to touch with them. So, safety protection barrier must be set up with a certain distance away from the live items to perform electrical component measure for the equipment in operation. It’s reiterated that maintainers must be trained properly, which is an absolutely necessary job and must be done. Caution: There may be large short-circuit current inside excitation cubicle because high voltage exists at the excitation transformer auxiliary side and generator rotor magnetic field windings. It’s specially indicated that great danger of electric shock exists because the discharging resistors of deexcitation switch and magnetic field loop are directly connected with generator rotor windings. Protection equipment are needed to be installed in excitation cubicle for personal safety.If protection equipment are moved, maintainers must stay faraway from dangers by high voltage and large current. While control cubicle door is opened during operation, maintainers should pay attention to high voltage (above SOV) inside. Voltage inside rectifier cubicle may be above 1000V and current is very great. High voltage danger should be warned. Maintenance work must be done under power off and with protection measures. If not, the following precaution work must be done: Keeping away from operation zones and putting yellow signs of “high voltage! Danger!” in security zones. Disconnected switches are closed because of control faults or wrong operations. To avoid such cases, corresponding protection measures are needed, such as switch with keys to avoid switch connections by wrong operations again. 2.2. Consequence by Negligence Not abiding by safety rules may cause serious damage to equipment. Warning: if there are not protection equipment inside cubicle with electricity, it’s increasing great risk of danger for not only operation staff but also other personnel near to the live equipment. If the required maintenance work is not finished or only done partly, it may result in hazards and serious. Especially when there’s debris and dust left inside rectifier cabinet, high voltage flashover will occur and cause hazards.2.3. Requests for Working Staff Maintainers must be familiar with installation and operation and need to be trained on maintenance. They shall be familiar with control principles and corresponding operation and the alarms not only from excitation equipment itself (on-site control) but also control center (remote control, see operation instructions). They shall not only have a great deal of experience about excitation equipment power source and such faults as emergency shut-down but also are capable of shutting down the system under emergent cases. They must know well on measures for prevention of accidents at working field and be trained on first-aid and fire extinguishing. 2.4, Descriptions of Emergencies Outbreak of fire Working staff must know positions of fire extinguisher and emergency exit and be capable of using fire extinguisher, including types of halogen, C02 and foam ete. (A). CO2 fire extinguishers are used for extinguishing fire on electrical equipment, which have no direct harm on persons. (B). Foam fire extinguishers are made for extinguishing fire on non-electrical equipment and not used for electrical equipment fire extinguishing. Otherwise, it will cause direct harm to persons. In case of outbreak of fire in the system, first cut off excitation on site or from control center and start emergency shut-down device if necessary (see operation instructions), then cut off all power supply for the system. While extinguishing fire inside cabinet with electricity, only CO2 fireextinguisher can be used and foam or water type must not be used! 2.5. First-aid Measures for Electrical Devices First, cut off excitation on site or control center and start emergency shut-down device if necessary (see operation instructions), then cut off all system power supply. Rescue the wounded from dangerous zones, then lay them down and offer trained aid to them. At the same time, consider possible consequences of electrical equipment and ask for help.2.2 Open-loop Test Open-loop text measures are briefly stated as following: 2.2.1. Wiring Test connection has two modes: a). Disconnect machine terminals and use electricity delivered reversely from the system. In this type, potential transformers, current transformers and rectifier transformers of excitation system are used and the whole excitation system can be checked simultaneously. The wiring principle system diagram is show as fig 1. Fig 1 Pri iple Diagram of Excitation System ) Use three-phase voltage regulator to simulate input of potential transformers and rectifier transformers. Wiring principle system diagram is shown in fig 2. Fig 5 Excitation regulation cabinetLtesares | ape flee | Regulator} | — FH HaACe wreren > | ws 1 | |= +4 a « | Daren rd w [Sew | & ee | Fig 2 Open-loop test principle diagram (11) In mode a, disconnect three phases at the outlet of generator end. The output cables or busbars have electricity under test and necessary protection measures need to be taken. In mode b, lead wires from generator terminal potential transformers to terminals of excitation regulation cabinet shall be cut off. Switches of rectifier bridge AC input shall be cut off simultaneously to avoid inducing voltage at primary side of current and voltage transformers. In addition, if the rated voltage at auxiliary side of rectifier transformers is very high, synchronous transformers ratio shall be adjusted to the lower grade during test in order to ensure normal synchronized signal while synchronous transformer input is lower. In the above two modes, rotor cables at output of deexcitation switch shall be disconnected and electric stoves or resistances are connected as load (power of load shall be considered, silicon-controlled rectifier can be conducted reliably with 1A above excitation current) and load capacity shall be considered. While silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is completely opened, output voltage at DC side can reach twice as rated excitation voltage. Oscilloscope is connected with load to observe output wave form of SCR. It’s cautionedthat additional damping resistance needs to be connected in the system, while the highest output voltage exceeds the scope of oscilloscope. uw Fig3 Excitation voltage wave form in open-loop test Open-loop test procedure: each button of excitation regulator is on working position; open-loop small current test is done through channel I and II. Excitation output wave form can be observed from oscilloscope when adjusting regulation buttons from above two channels. While output : wave form of SCR is normal, the wave form is symmetrical six-wave-head without phase loss and changing smoothly from the smallest to the largest without control loss along with given input (along with magnetic increase or decrease), as shown in Fig 3. 2.2.2. Safety Measures In the main circuit, one side of deexcitation switch is directly connected with generator rotor and input side of Rectifier Bridge is directly connected with auxiliary windings of excitation transformer, so there is high voltage in main circuit during excitation equipment running. Contact with equipment in main circuit shall be avoided during normal running or test in order to avoid electric shock accidents. It’s worth cautioning that rotor excitation circuit connected with deexcitation switch shall must not be touched because of over voltage under deexcitation with large current.Maintenance and overhaul works shall be done under completely out of power supply. It’s better to establish striking warning lines in the working zones to prevent the access by people other than workers. As for not-switching-on breakers, deexcitation switches and isolators during maintenance, wrong operation prevention measures must be taken, for example, a prohibition sign of “Working, Switching on Forbidden!” is hung to avoid accidents by wrong operation. Unsuitable safety measures, such as wrong connections of switches during maintenance may cause not only personal injury accidents but also damages to equipment, which will increase repair costs. In addition, ignorance of equipment maintenance may shorten their service life and even affect normal working in case of serious situation. For example, accumulated dust on silicon assemblies may cause voltage flashover, which affects insulation of main circuit and may seriously damage the equipment. 2.2.3. Requirements for Main © Maintainers must be familiar with related drawings and reference materials. © Maintainers must be trained or proficient in operation and installation and can fulfill completely maintenance and overhaul works. Maintainers must know well all kinds of signal meanings in equipment running and can take corresponding measures under necessary condition. ‘Maintainers must have capability for handling emergent cases, such as disconnecting deexcitation switch and cutting off power supply.2.2.4. Disposition of Emergent Cases At first, disconnect deexcitation switch and cut off all power supply connected with excitation equipment on site or from control center. If fire alarms occur, CO2 fire extinguisher can be directly sprayed on live afire equipment but not on afire persons. Foam fire extinguisher can only be used on non-live equipment must not be operated for live ones. Howver they can be used for afire persons.2.3.M: tenance of Excitation Equipment 2.3.1. Overview A majority of electrical components have no wearing indications except some minor aging signs, but there are some electromechanical devices inside excitation equipment, such as breakers, contactors, air blowers which will have mechanical wear. Fault system keeps scanning working channels and backup channels under normal condition and moreover, fault inspection system itself may be supervised. But fault inspection system cannot detect all faults, for example, whether the switching relay is normal, so it’s necessary to make periodical inspections of equipment inspection. During periodical inspection, the following functional inspection checks must be done besides cleaning the equipment and components or replacing fasteners equipment. Dust may be easily accumulated on silicon components because of air circulation in power rectifier cabinet and so are other circuits. Vibration may cause looseness at joints of terminals or other bolt connections. There are high voltage and large current in excitation circuit. Dust accumulated on equipment and conductor surface increase risk of equipment component damages by voltage flashover. Periodical inspection maintenance can decrease such risk significantly. 2.3.2. Working Conditions for Maintenance While doing maintenance job, the actual conditions of excitation system shall be paid attention to. Different inspection and maintenance items are executed under different conditions. Work condition (1), close off all power supply of excitation equipmentand cut off all external electrical connection. Work condition (2), only auxiliary power and DC are supplied. Work condition (3), open-loop test condition. Work condition (4), equipment is running. 2.3.3.
