• Plant Efficiencies Benefit by Selection of Synchronous Motor which discusses the application of a synchronous motor and how the synchronous machine, with the aid of a DECS-200 intelligent excitation controller, can control power factor to reduce the plant reactive loading to the connected system.
• Synchronous Motor Control - This paper provides a detailed discussion of the basic theory of operation and control of the synchronous motor. Typical protection also is addressed involving motor pullout and under- and overexcitation concerns.

Review the specifications of the DECS digital excitation system controller family to choose the product that best fits your application.

Also, see how the Redundant DECS-200 pre-packaged retrofit solution is discussed in Application Note EX-D200P3 for use on small to medium size synchronous machines having either brush or brushless type rotating exciters. The Redundant DECS-200 offers the advantage of two digital controllers that communicate via parallel ports to maintain the generator output voltage via the field of the exciter.
