The DC system uses Ward Leonard controls with synchronous machines driving MG sets, all controlled by field exciters. The field exciters are IGBT chopper technology-based and deliver a high performance, modular control system tailor- The field exciters use digital regulators that provide generator and motor control functions by controlling armature volts and amps to levels that maximize productivity and minimize equipment stress. The field exciters control the synchronous motor excitation to provide system reactive power support during motoring and regeneration as well as line voltage...
