Abstract :
This paper covers American Electric Power Service Corporation´s selection of an alternator-rectifier excitation system for the two 724-MVA generators for Cardinal plant. It also reviews the experience with the shaft-driven exciters installed since 1952. Several alternate excitation systems were studied which led to the selection of the new Alterrex excitation system which is described in detail.
