Synchronous Generator Exciter and Stator | Brushless Exciter #synchronousgenerator

A synchronous generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The device has a rotor that spins within a stator. The rotor is surrounded by a field winding that creates a magnetic field. The stator has a series of windings that create an electric field. When the rotor spins, it creates a current in the field winding. This current is then passed on to the stator windings, where it creates an electrical current.
A synchronous generator maintenance method includes the steps of: (1) disassembling a synchronous generator into a plurality of sub-assemblies; (2) cleaning the sub-assemblies; (3) reassembling the sub-assemblies; and (4) testing the reassembled synchronous generator.
