FG Wilson uses three types of excitation systems:
1) Shunt
2) AREP
3) PMG
When to choose shunt ?
- single circuit installation
- power cut acceptable
- self protection of the alternator
When to choose arep or pmg ?
- whole installation with several circuits
- power cut forbidden ( hospitals, ups etc.)
- high rate of distorting loads.
- starting of a big motor
- AREP minimum length required
-PMG existing shunt machine to be upgraded
AREP / PMG advantages compared with shunt
- the short circuit capability that enables a selective
protection in case of overload or short circuit
on an installation
Shunt
- Advantages
- Low Cost
- Self protected against short circuit (the AVR will immediately switch off the excitation if a short circuit condition is detected by the sensing leads)
- No extra length
- Disadvantages
- No short circuit capability (the AVR may detect a short circuit condition when starting a high capacity load, such as a large motor)
- Low starting capacity
- Sensitive to distorting loads
AREP
- Advantages
- High starting capacity
- Short circuit capabilty
- No extra length
- Disadvantages
- Specific Winding
- Small added cost
PMG
- Advantages
- High starting capacit
- Short circuit capabilty
- Permanent Magnetism
- Disadvantages
- Extra Length
- High number of components
- Added cost
