I need help with this Generator excitation method please

AI Thread 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 Summary
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?
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
