Generator rotor crowbar protection
A crowbar protects the rotor winding of a synchronous generator from over-voltage and dissipates the energy stored in it. It is usually part of the excitation system, and we design and build each one to order for the generator’s rotor winding.
Features
- Rotor winding over-voltage protection
- Fast field discharge
- Designed to each generator’s rotor winding
Applications
- Hydroelectric plants
- Thermal power plants
- High-power synchronous motors
