Abstract :
A digitally controlled cycloconverter excitation system for a laboratory size two-axis synchronous machine is described. The control strategies for start up, steady synchronous and asynchronous operations are provided. The possibility of the use of a microprocessor to replace the hard wired logic and further increase the excitation system flexibility is detailed.
