Description

The Basler Electric DECS-250-LN1SA1N is a complete digital excitation control system designed for precise voltage, var, and power factor regulation in synchronous generator and synchronous motor applications. This unit features True RMS sensing for single-phase or three-phase voltage and current inputs, alongside integrated generator protection functions (27/59, 81O/U, 32R, 40Q, EDM, 59F, 51F, Loss of PMG, Field Short Circuit, and 25 Sync Check). The DECS-250-LN1SA1N configuration provides automatic voltage regulation (AVR), field current regulation (FCR), field voltage regulation (FVR), and load sharing capabilities over Ethernet.

Features

  • True RMS single-phase or three-phase voltage and current sensing with generator metering
  • Multiple operating modes including AVR, FCR, FVR, Power Factor, and var regulation
  • Integrated generator protection functions (27/59, 81O/U, 32R, 40Q, EDM, 59F, 51F, Loss of PMG, Field Short Circuit, 25 Sync Check)
  • Pulse-width-modulated (PWM) power stage adaptable to shunt, auxiliary winding, permanent magnet, or DC-fed systems
  • Auto-tuning capability with two PID stability groups
  • Conformal coating applied to select internal circuitry for enhanced environmental protection
  • Sixteen programmable dry contact inputs and twelve programmable contact outputs
  • Compatible with AEM-2020 Analog Expansion Modules and CEM-2020 Contact Expansion Modules

Applications

  • Synchronous Generator Control
  • Synchronous Motor Excitation Control
  • Power Generation Plant Excitation and Protection
