F.2 Maximum field current limiter loop for the AC2A system
The recommended model for the Type AC2A system is shown in Figure 6-2. The upper limiter on the
exciter voltage (VE) is not a physical limit. The physical system contains a fast feedback loop that limits the
exciter field current. This loop is shown in Figure F.1.
The output of the field current limiter loop, VL, is normally the higher of the two parameters entering the low
value gate. As such, it has no effect on the excitation system output. As the field current, VFE, increases, the
output of the loop decreases. As the field current increases to approximately VLR, the output of the loop
becomes the lower of the two parameters entering the gate and an error signal is produced to decrease the
field current.
The effective time constant for the field current limiter loop is approximately 1.0 ms and direct simulation of
this loop would require time steps smaller than those normally used in stability studies. The recommended
model in Figure 6-2 simulates the loop as an upper limit on the exciter voltage.
