Attention: according to the semand of users, the signals at contact point without
power may not be totally identiacal to the above signals. The acutual value should be
checked according to the special diagram.
8. Check of excitaion communication

Test the communication function of the excitation system by the BitBoy Software
and RS485/RS232. Make sure checked:
Attention: the outlet serial communication interface of the EXC9000 excitation
system if RS485 interface. In the commissioning, the operaters need to do the test by
the RS485/RS232 communication exchange mode.
VII. Open-loop testing

The testing machine units are testing the open loop of excitation device when the
electricity is reversely supplied.
Wiring way: from the low voltage terminal PT side, operators introduce a wire to
the wiring terminal inside the excitation cubicle, at which the 1PT and 2PT are
parrelel connected. Introduce wire from the excitation change secondary side in the
testing machine unit to the anode side of the excitater rectifier bridge, switch off the
circuit breakers at the testing machine unit and the rotor circuit, switch on the
7-19
interconnected circuit breaker, and send electricity in reversed direction, so as to

electricize the PT terminal and the excitation voltage transformer. Put a resistance
wire into the rectifier bridge in place of a rotor as the load for commissioning.
1. Preset value
Channel A preset Channel Bpreset Channel C preset
Attention: when the “0 voltage initiation “ is operable, the preset value of Channel A
and B IS 10%, while it is not operable, the preset value is 97%. When the preset is at
normal state in channel C, the preset value is the low limit of its current regulation.
2. Check the automatic channel characteristics

Without changing the preset value, the control signal in channel A and B should rise
as the PT voltage rises, and should decrease as the PT voltage decreases. The
feedback signals in Channel C are the excitation current, which remains unchanged
even the PT changes.
Without changing PT voltage, in excitation increase, control signals decrease, and
αangle shrinkd; in excitation decrease, control signals increase and αangle swell.
Results:
Attention: because there’s the function to prevent excitation increase or decrease
points from sticking to each other, in operation of excitation increase or decrease, the
time for conneting should not exeed 4 seconds, or the command is ineffective.
3. Check the rectifier bridge wave form

Located in channel A and B, used to check the waveforms from each rectifier
bridge, with continual alteration and without mutation.
Results:
Attention: when there are more than 2 rectifier bridges in the system, separate check
for each rectifier bridge is necessary. At the same time, cut the AC current input or
triggering pulse in the rest of the rectifiers.
4. Check test for channel C
7-20
Short connected the JP1 on analogue quantity board by jumper code, switch to
channel C, and observe the waveforms from the rectifier. The operation of exctation
increase or decrease should be able to symmetrize the waves and should be
continually adjustable.
Results:
After the test, get the PJ1 out. Make sure this done:
5. Phase-change characteristics check

Check compatibility between the set control angle in channel A and B and the
control signals. The ranges for UKX are 860~7600, the corresponding UK should be
10.6%~103.7%, linear.
UKX 860 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7600
UK refernce
value
Set A UK
Set B UK
Attention: in the procedure of the test, use the commissioning compter to set the
channel as the constant angle mode, after input the set UKX, record the UK value on
the regulator screen. (When Channel A is working, record UKA; When Channel B is
working, record UKB,) the standard for judgement: in the space interval of
UKX=4000~5000, the UK error should not exceed 3%.
6. Voltage display calibration in de-excitator

DC output Transformer LCD voltage LCD display LCD display Voltage gauge
voltage output display B value V value ranges
Attention: as to the intelligent power controller system, it is necessary to do the

coltage calibration on the screen of de-excitator. For measures of calibrtion, refer to
the indication on the screen. As to the conventional power controller system, there’s
no need of calibration, but operaters need to check if the output of transformer is at
7-21
normal state.
7. Failure test for inversion failure

In the situation of reversed electricity supply, please set the “rectifier/reversion”
switch at the post of “reversion” or the remote reversion command. If 10 seconds after
receiving the command, the PT voltage is still higher than 10% of the set value, the
de-excitater switch is turned on by the relay protector caused by reversion failure and
check the correctness of corresponding alarm signals.
Results:
8. Test for impulse circuit

Power controller withdraw switch “on” for the cubicle withdrawal, and “off” for its
onstate. Observe the LCD, impulse indicator lights on power controller pulse board
and the output waveforms in the rectifier bridge, to make sure the function of the
switch is at normal state.
Results:
Attention: when there’s only one power controller, there’s no switch for pulse cut.
9. Divided de-excitation switch cut impulse check

Divide de-excitation switch, to ensure no impulse output. Results:
10. BOD switch off function check after over-voltage protection

Similate over-voltage protection by means of condenser discharged. Observe the
DC voltage output, and check the correctness of corresponding alarm signals.
Results:
Attention: the standard for the condensers can be 50V/1000uf, directly charged from
the 24v power circuit in the excitation system. The charging time is generally less
than 5 seconds. In the process of discharging, directly put the condenser on the
mutual-inducer in the de-excitation resistor. As to the linear resistor de-excitation
circuit, this step can be skipped.
11. In-phase voltage circuit check

Through testing the DC current in the in-phase primary, secondary voltage and the
7-22
diode rectifier voltage or QF01, operators can judge the correctness of this circuit wire.
The in-phase voltage transformer 3-phase voltage is basically the same. The input DC
voltage for the QF01 operational switch should be 1.4 fold larger than the in-phase
change secondary volt 220v voltage. (If there are 2 steps changing at the same time,
fill in the following table.)

Attention: (1)when the test could not provide the rated power of the fan power
voltge transformer primary volt, operaters can add AC 380v power plant power supply
to the transformer primary volt to get the voltage on the secondary volt, and judge if
the transformer is at normal state. (2) when the voltage at the generater terminal is less
than 90% of the rated vale, the power transformer circuit is out of work, or the low
voltage in the fan may damage the fan. (3) when there is no fan power voltage
transformer , this step can be skipped.

Modify the over-excitation restraint value in the A/B regulator, similate the
over-excitation restraint, check the stability after the restraint action, and check the
correctness of the “force-excitaion” , “over-excitation restraint” alarm signals.
Attention: when the sampling excitation current inside the regulator is larger than

IX. ON-Load close loop testing

Increase the voltage from 0 volt to the rated value, operators should pay attention to
the indication on the corresponding table on the gauge screen of the testing machines.
When interconnecting the machines, regulate the terminal voltage as well as the
generator spinning speed, to make the spinning speed of the corresponding table as
slow as possible. When the indicated needle nears to the angle of 0 degree, switch on
the interconnection button. This done, the machines are interconnected, when the
shock to the generator is the lowest. After interconnection, check the regulator screen
to make sure the indicator light of “interconnection” is on.
1. Negative charge in interconnection

Attention: operators can increase or reduce active power through regulation of the
generator spinning speed, while the increase or reduce of reactive power can be
achieved through regulation of excitation current output.
2. Polarity check in deviation regulation

Set the polarity as positive deviation regulation.
Channel A results:
Channel B results:
Attention: the polarity and grade of this regulation can be set through the
operational bottons on the screen of the regulator. When the deviation regulation is set
7-30
as positive, the increase of grade results in the decrease of reactive power of the
machine unit.
3. Test for under-excitation restraint

When the genrator active pwer is getting close to 0, the de-excitation makes the
generator’s reactive power negative. Till the function of under-excitation restraint is
stimulated, the reactive power of the generator would not increase any more. Check
the correctness of alarm indicator and the output of signal contact.
Keep the generator in the state of reactive power, gradually increase the active
power of the generator, and check the generator reactve power value, which should be
reduced accordingly.
In the process of under-excitation, the system is in a steady state. Increase
excitation, and the regulator will exit the under-excitation restraint.
Channel A results:
Channel B results:
Attention: in this test, operators can temporarily reduce the setting value of
under-excitation.
4. Constant reactive power regulation test

Increase excitation so as to make the generator reactive power positive, set the
regulator as “constant Q regulation “ through the regulatory software or the
operational bottons on the screen, and the excitation system would regulate based on
the the current reactive value and increase or reduce the active power. In this process,
the reactive power remains the same. Operators check the correctness of the status
display and the signal contact output.
Exit the constan Q regulation, connect the commissioning software and the serial
interface of the regulator, input the command “constant reactive power regulation”
and set the reactive value to the excitation system through BitBoy software and
RS485/RS232, the regulator would regulate according to the set value of the
command. Check the correctess of the status display and the output of signal
contact.

5. Constant power coefficient regulation test

Increase excitation so as to make the generator reactive power positive, set the
regulator as “constant PF regulation “ through the regulatory software or the
operational bottons on the screen, and the excitation system would regulate based on
the the current power coefficient and increase or reduce the active power. In this
process, the reactive power remains the same. Operators check the correctness of the
status display and the signal contact output.
Exit the constan PF regulation, connect the commissioning software and the serial
interface of the regulator, input the command “constant PF regulation” and set the
reactive value to the excitation system through BitBoy software and RS485/RS232,
the regulator would regulate according to the set value of the command. Check the
correctess of the status display and the output of signal contact.
Channel A results:
Channel B results:
Attention: (1) when channel C is in operation, both constant PF and constant Q
regulation are ineffective. (2) When the reactive power is lower than 0, the constant
PF regulation is invalid (3) when the constant Q and constant PF regulation are
invalid, the status display and the output of signal contact should exit, too.

checked according to the special diagram. (2) Other signals, such as “PT “ error, the
“regulator error” can be tested in the open loop testing.
8. Excitaion communication check

Connect the RS485 with the monitoring system, so the monitoring system would
send controlling command to the excitation system based on the bilateral agreement
assigned by both sides. At the same time, the monitoring system would also
parallelize signal wires at the excitation system serial communication interface,
7-44
converted by the RS485/RS232 then connected to the commissioning computer.

Operators use the BitBoy software to monitor if the output signal and the reaction
signal in the excitation system are at normal state.
Make sure checked:
Attention: the outward serial interface in EXC9000 system is RS485. In the
process of commissioning, it is necessary to setup the convertion mode RS485/RS432
for testing.
III. Open-loop testing

Wiring way:
(1) Unfold the wire inside the cubicle introduced through 1PT, 2PT; unfold the DC
cable from the output polar of the de-excitater switch to the fenerator rotor; unfold the
cables from the excitation change secondary volt to the power controller rectifier
bridge.
Attention: if there are too many DC cables from the output polar of the
de-excitater switch to the fenerator rotor to unfold all of them, operators can cut the
de-excitater switch and cut the rotor load. But remember to remove the signals of “cut
pulse with devided brakers” and “reversion with devided brakers”, or the regulator
would not be able to work normally.
If there are too many cables from the excitation change secondary volt to the power
controller rectifier bridge to unfold all of them, operators can devide the anode switch
of the rectifier bridge, cut the input power from the excitation voltage transformer and
at the same time, cut off the fuse on the primary volt of the in-phase voltage
transformer so as to connect the in-phase power supply.
(2) The 3-phase power supply is introduced to the primary volt of the 3-phase voltage
regulator through the air switch and operators should make sure that the input power
is positive-phase. The secondary volt of this regulator replace 2PT,1PT, the input
terminal of PT signal as well as the anode switch of the rectifier bridge. The capacity
of the 3-phase voltage transformer should be no less than 3KVA.
(3) The rotors off, operators use eletric furnace or resistor with a certain capacity to
7-45
take place of the rotors. Connect them to the output side of the rectifier as the
commissioning load. The capacity should be about 30Ω, with a capacity of more
than 1KW.
(4 )The point of the ondoscope should be connected to the rectifier bridge for the sake
of observing the output excitation voltage waveforms.
1. Record the actual corresponding value of the 10% voltage

ActionvalueUpt= Feedback value Upt=
2. Setup for the set value

Channel A preset Channel Bpreset Channel C preset
Attention: when the “0 voltage initiation “ is operable, the preset value of Channel
A and B IS 10%, while it is not operable, the preset value is 97%. When the preset is
at normal state in channel C, the preset value is the low limit of its current regulation.
3. Check the automatic channel characteristics

Without changing the preset value, the control signal in channel A and B should rise
as the PT voltage rises, and should decrease as the PT voltage decreases. The
feedback signals in Channel C are the excitation current, which remains unchanged
even the PT changes.
Without changing PT voltage, in excitation increase, control signals decrease, and
αangle shrinkd; in excitation decrease, control signals increase and αangle swell.
Without changing PT voltage, similate remote increase or reduce excitaion by
means of short circuit, the controlling signals should be working normally.
Without changing PT voltge, actually increase or reduce the excitation through
remote monitoring system, the controlling system should be at normal state of work.
Results:
Attention: because there’s the function to prevent excitation increase or decrease
points from sticking to each other, in operation of excitation increase or decrease, the
time for conneting should not exeed 4 seconds, or the command is ineffective.
7-46
4. Check for the rectifier output waveforms

Located in channel A and B, used to check the waveforms from each rectifier
bridge, with continual alteration and without mutation.
Results:
Attention: when there are more than 2 rectifier bridges in the system, separate
check for each rectifier bridge is necessary. At the same time, cut the AC current input
or triggering pulse in the rest of the rectifiers.
5. Test for channel C

Short connected the JP1 on analogue quantity board by jumper code, switch to
channel C, and observe the waveforms from the rectifier. The operation of exctation
increase or decrease should be able to symmetrize the waves and should be
continually adjustable.
Results: normal
After the test, get the PJ1 out. Make sure this done: confirm
6. Reversion failure test

Input rated PT voltagein the regulator, please set the “rectifier/reversion” switch at
the post of “reversion” or the remote reversion command. If 10 seconds after
receiving the command, the PT voltage is still higher than 10% of the set value, the
de-excitater switch is turned on by the relay protector caused by reversion failure and
check the correctness of corresponding alarm signals.
Results:
7. Test for forbidden reversion after interconnection

Input rated PT voltagein the regulator, similate the interconnection signal input with
short connected wires, set the “rectifier/reversion” switch at the post of “reversion” or
the remote reversion command. If 10 seconds after receiving the command, the PT
voltage is still higher than 10% of the set value, the inversion failure will not occur
and the failure protection relay would not start up the de-excitater switch.
Results:
7-47
8. Test for over-voltage restraint

After input rated PT voltagein the regulator, continue increase the PT voltage till it
reaches to about 110% of the rated value. The “V/F restraint” signal would take action;
observe if the signals are at normal state.
Results:
9. Test for pulse cut circuit

Power controller withdraw switch “on” for the cubicle withdrawal, and “off” for its
onstate. Observe the LCD, impulse indicator lights on power controller pulse board
and the output waveforms in the rectifier bridge, to make sure the function of the
switch is at normal state.
Results:
Attention: when there’s only one power controller, there’s no switch for pulse cut.
10. Check for de-exictation switch cut pulse

Similate the signal “cut pulse with devided braker” and send it to the regulator,
make sure that there is no pulse output.
Results:
11. Test for automatic switch

IV. Generator short circuit testing

The test of short circuit dry and circuit characteristic on the generaror sets are
actually not inclusive in the tests of the excitation system and the rectifier generally
carries it out through the power supplied by power of changeable voltage. As the
capacity of the generator sets is becoming bigger and bigger these years, the
7-49
changeable rectifier power can no longer meet the requirement of the test, which
means that the excitaion system is needed for the short circuit test. Since the
generator terminal has already been short circuit, the excitation power needs other
source of power supply. There are 2 modes:
(1) After the electricity is reversed, the excitation voltage transformer supplies
the power
(2) Connect the power through the electricity from the factories: get electricity
from 6kV or 10Kv wire to the excitation voltage transformer, or use the
factory testing voltage tranformer in place of the excitation voltage
transformer.
Stop serious alarm:operators should close the functions of “residual voltage
exctation”, “system voltage tracking “ and “channel tracking”, and switch off the
excitation switch. At the same time, the operation of initiation botton and
switchingchannel is forbidden, which is to prevent abnormality.
Before the test, operators should first of all, check the correctness of the order
phase of the power. Make sure it is of positive phase.
Generall speaking, in the above 2 modes, to carry out the short circuit test, there are
the following wiring ways:
1. Short circuit test when the point is inside the PT terminal

In this mode, the point is at the PT terminal, the terminal volt is unfold outside the
shortcircuit point, the interconnection switch of generator is on, and after the
electricity reversion, the excitation change as well as the PT terminal is charged at the
same time.
phase of the power and the normality of the regulator. Ways to check as the
following:
1) Detach the “interconnection command” in the external terminal line;
Attention: because in this way the electricity upply is resersally provided, which is
not the real generators interconnection, this signal should be removed.
7-50
2) De-excitator braker devided, operators should remove the “devide pulse cut” signal
in the regulator
3) Connect an electric furnace or a resistoric load at the input terminal of the
excitation switch. Connect the touching point of the ondoscope. operators get ready to
observe the voltage waveforms from the rectifier.
Attention: first connect the resistor for test, which is to test if the control of
regulator and rectifier is at normal state.
4) The machine units are in the state of shutdown, the regulator powered off, switch
on the interconnection switch at the side of generator outlet, which would provide
electricity for the excitation voltage transformer and PT, check the phase order of the
rectifier bridge input power to ensure the positive phase.
5) Switch off the interconnection switch, resend electricity to the regulator, and set the
regulators in A/B channel into the mode of “constant excitation regulation”. Short
connect the JP1 of the regulator in channel C on the analogue quantity board, set the C
channel in the mode of “constant control angle regulation”
6) Regulators switched to channel C
Attention: this is the first time the excitaton system is tested with the generator unit,
so it is impossible to judge if the current feedback is normal. Channel C doesn’t need
the current feedback signals in the “constant angle control regulation” mode, which
is safer and more reliable. .
7) Switch on the interconnection switch at the exit of the generator, providing
electricity for the excotation voltage transformer and PT. Regulator set C will begin to
work normally, and send out pulse signals.At this moment, the set signal of channel C
is at its loe limit, the output of excitation voltage is 0.
8) Operate the excitaion increase botton on the regulator to add the set value of
channel C, the control signals in channel C would s decrease accordingly, while the
output voltage of the rectifier would increase. At this moment observe the voltage
waveform to see if it is steady and if there’s mutation.
9) Operate the excitaion decrease botton on the regulator to reduce the set value of
7-51
channel C, the control signals in channel C would increase accordingly, while the
output voltage of the rectifier would decrease. At this moment observe the voltage
waveform to see if it is teady and if there’s mutation.
10) When the output voltage reaches it maximum value, wind the botton
“rectifier/reversion” to the position of “reversion”. The output voltage should drop to
0, and make sure if it is normal.
11) After the above tests, operators can judge the performace of the regulator and
rectifier. Switch off the interconnection switch, and turn on the de-excitater, so that
the “devided braker pulse cut” returns to normal state.
The steps for short circuit test:

1) Set the machine unit at a certain spinning speed, make sure that the command of
interconnection signal is removed, and the functions of “residual initiation”,
“ssystematic voltage tracking” and “channel tracking” are off, switch off the initiation
power switch, and make sure that the JP1 jumper in the regulator of analogue quantity
BUS channel C.
2) Power the regulator and swith it to channel C.
Attention: operators can also adopt the “constant control angle” mode in channel
A/B, but this should be set through the commissioning software. After that, the
indicator lights for this mode would be on. Input the maximum signal through the
commissioning software.
Attention: restart the regulator in channel A/B, thus exiting the “constant control
angle” mode. In the process of the test remember to make sure the regulator in
channel A/B is in the “constant control angle” mode.
3) Turn on the interconnection switch to supply electricity reversally,
operate the excitation increase botton, the voltage in the rectifier will inrease
accordingly, the rotor current would increase, as well as the stator short circuit in the
generator current. Observe the normality of rotor current in the regulator, and then
cooperate with the testing department of the generators to finish the short circuit dry
test or the short circuit characteristic test.
7-52
4) After the test, set channel A/B in the “automatic mode” once again. Detah the JP1
in channel C, and get ready to carry out the other-excitation idle-loaded pressure
build-up test.
Attention: don’t switch the channels in this test, when adopting the “constant
control angle mode”, operaters had better to set all the 3 channels into this mode.
2. Short circuit test when the point is outside the PT terminal

In this mode, the point is outside the PT terminal, the terminal volt is unfold outside
the shortcircuit point, the interconnection switch of generator is on, and after the
electricity reversion, the excitation change is charged, but the PT terminal is off
charge.
The procedure of the test is more or less the same as the first method mentioned
above. But as the PT is off charge, it is necessary to provide a 10% terminal voltage
signal for the regulator after the reversal supply of electricity, so as to make the
regulator work properly.
There are 2 ways in which to get the R631 signal:
1) Short circuit R631 and R602 in the X2 terminal on the AP3 board so that the
regulator can receive the signals for start up and begins to work. The 3 channels can
all be tested; other steps are the same as the first wiring way of test.
2) After connection of the regulators A/B with the commissioning software, make the
regulators A/B enter the mode of “constant control angle”. Send out the command of
“forced start” to make regulators A/B work. After receiving this command the
regulator will start to work. Other steps are the same as the test for the first wiring
way.
Attention: the R631 signal obtained through the above mode is valid to all the 3

1) Detach the “interconnection command” in the external terminal line;

De-excitator braker devided, operators should remove the “devide pulse cut” signal in
the regulator
excitation switch. Connect the touching point of the ondoscope.
3) Operators get ready to observe the voltage waveforms from the rectifier.
Attention: first connect the resistor for test, which is to test if the control of
regulator and rectifier is at normal state.
7) Switch on the interconnection switch at the exit of the generator, providing
electricity for the excotation voltage transformer
8) With the R631 signal, regulator set C will begin to work normally, and send out
pulse signals. At this moment, the set signal of channel C is at its loe limit, the output
of excitation voltage is 0.

3) Turn on the interconnection switch to supply electricity reversally,
4) With the R631 signal, the regulator begins to work properly, and sends out pulse
signal. Operate the excitation increase botton, the voltage in the rectifier will inrease

3. Power supplied by factory to the rectifier bridge

In this mode: operators can set the shortcircuit point at the export of generator,
without opening the terminal main circuit. The interconnection switch is off, with no
reversed electricity from the electric network the PT of terminal and excitation
changing uncharged.
While supplying electricity to the exictation voltage transformer through the 6k V
or 10 k V main circuit, it is necessary to unfold the cable from the voltage transformer
to the terminal then connect it to the main circuit.
When adopting this mode, it is necessary to detach the main circuit or cable from the
side with low voltage of the transformer to the rectifier bridge, and connect the AC
cable from the low-voltage side to the rectifier bridge.
The procedure of the test is more or less the same as the second method mentioned
above. But as the PT is off charge, it is necessary to provide a 10% terminal voltage
signal for the regulator after the reversal supply of electricity, so as to make the
regulator work properly.

Stop serious alarm:operators should close the functions of “residual voltage

excitation switch. At the same time, the operation of initiation botton and
switchingchannel is forbidden, which is to prevent abnormality.
