Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) Exciter

The Permanent Magnet Generator supplies more power than others for starting motor functions. The generator performs to sustain main field excitation for coordination and short circuit fault discrimination, and so provides greater immunity from loads of non-linear format. In application, the PMG alternator features as a brushless exciter for first...
