A Solid-State Regulator for Electric Utility Applications

An all solid-state regulator with new and improved features over existing regulators has been developed. The new regulator is currently being applied in both brushless excitation systems and static excitation systems for electric utility applications. Solid state circuitry is ideally suited for the application of multiple supplementary control functions required in modern systems. Draw-out modular construction simplifies installation, testing, adjusting, and maintenance of the excitation system components.
