tor can be shifted toward unity.
The power factor of a synchronous motor can be controlled by
varying the amount of excitation current delivered to the mo-
tor field during operation. As the dc field excitation increases,
the synchronous motor begins to operate in leading power
factor, exporting vars. As the dc field excitation decreases, the
synchronous motor operates in lagging power factor, importing
vars and less favorable power factor.
When a synchronous motor operates in lagging power fac-
tor, the system interconnect must carry a larger kVA load than
when it operates at unity power factor. Plant utility costs rise
as the kVA burden increases.
Basler Electrics DECS-250E Digital Excitation Control
System provides the necessary excitation for field control. The
DECS-250E provides accurate and reliable regulation, control,
and field protection for synchronous motor applications. For
slip-ring applications, the DECS-250E is available in three
different models: 50 Adc, 100 Adc, and 200 Adc. It can be
shipped loose (Figure 2) or housed in a compact enclosure
built by Basler Electric as a complete, ready-to-install package.
The DECS-250E offers enhanced control features including
Field Voltage Regulation (FVR) and Power Factor (PF) control.
These features offer flexibility of operation of the synchronous Figure 3. kW In versus kvar Out
motor.

With automatic power factor control, a fluctuating ac Field Discharge
supply variation is compensated by field-forcing margins built Resistor
into the excitation system. Without this feature, field poles
would slip causing motor pull out as a result of too little
excitation for the motor field.
When the motor starts, the excitation system is in FVR
control mode. A separate field application device determines Forward SCR 1
when to apply excitation to the field of the motor. A field- and SCR 2
voltage output remains active until a field application relay or
a solid-state field application panel begins to apply excita-
tion to the motor. Basler Electrics BESTCOMSPlus PC DECS-250E

Field Application Device


For applications involving replacing the dc contactor,
Basler Electric offers a solid-state field applications panel as
an accessory to the DECS-250E, which includes the field
application control module in combination with two SCRs
as shown in Figure 4. During startup, the field module gates

rent from the motor through a discharge resistor, that com-
bined with the motor armature winding, develops the motor
starting torque to start the motor spinning. When SCR 2
is gated on, SCR 1 is gated off, preventing excitation from be-
ing applied to the field. When the field application module
senses minimum slip frequency between the rotor frequency
and the ac supply frequency, field excitation is applied to the
motor field as the field and stator poles lock in synchronism.
