I need help with this Generator excitation method please

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on a three-phase AC alternator, clarifying that T32 likely refers to slip ring terminals rather than a regulator. The current in the coils is responsible for regulating the field and the generated voltage, while G3 contributes to the rotating dipole field. P1-P2 functions as a current transformer that senses AC current from V2, indicating its role in a current limiter or protection circuit. There is uncertainty regarding the purpose of G2, and additional information is sought about the make and model of the unit, including whether it has slip rings or is brushless. Understanding these components is crucial for effective excitation method implementation.

TL;DR
This generator G1 is connected to an AVR, what I don't understand is why the excitation is separately by voltage G3 and current G2.
Any explications please
Thanks

Welcome to PF.

This appears to be a three-phase AC alternator, not exactly a generator.

T32 may be the slip ring terminals, not a regulator. The current in those coils regulates the field, and so the voltage generated. G3 provides the rotating dipole field.

At the bottom, P1-P2 is a current transformer sensing the AC current from V2. That is the sensing part of a current limiter or protection circuit.

Just what G2 is for, I yet know not.

What is the make and model of the unit?
Does it have slip rings, or is it brushless, transformer coupled, like a marine unit?
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
