Working principle

When the ABB UAC326AE HIEE401481R0001 excitation system module is working, the output voltage and current signals of the generator are first collected in real time through voltage transformers and current transformers. The collected analog signals are amplified, filtered, and processed by the signal conditioning circuit, and then converted into digital signals that are input into the microprocessor inside the module.

The microprocessor analyzes and calculates the required excitation current regulation based on the preset control algorithm and the set voltage target value of the collected voltage and current data. Then, by controlling the pulse generation circuit to generate corresponding trigger pulse signals, the conduction angle of power semiconductor devices (such as thyristors) is controlled, thereby adjusting the magnitude of excitation current and achieving precise control of generator excitation.

Throughout the process, the module continuously monitors its own working status and excitation system parameters. Once an abnormal situation is detected, the fault diagnosis circuit immediately starts, triggering an alarm and protection mechanism. At the same time, the communication interface module is responsible for data exchange with external devices, uploading operational data to the monitoring system, and receiving control instructions issued by the monitoring system to achieve remote monitoring and control functions.
