Description
Block Synchronous Machine Field Circuit supplies the set voltage and measures the current through the excitation circuit of the synchronous machine to which it is connected. The block converts the values in SI units that you enter in the dialog box into values for modeling in relative units (OE).
The unit includes electrical grounding. The Input of the physical signal Efd_si determines the voltage, and the output of the physical signal Ifd_pu determines the current, both in O.E. The Input of the physical signal Efd determines the voltage in V, and the output of the physical signal Ifd provides the current in A.
The O.E. bases are a non-reciprocal system, Efd and Ifd, and not a reciprocal system, efd and ifd.
The figure below shows the block model Synchronous Machine Field Circuit in O.E.:

The following figure shows the block model Synchronous Machine Field Circuit in C:
