Why DC excitation is used for alternators? Why cant it be AC?
Answer Posted / anish
i think its b'coz we need constant poles at the ends of the
field(i.e. rotor) so as to lock the rotor wid the rotating
magnetic field.hence DC is used.if AC is used it ll create
NORTH n SOUTH poles alternately on each side of the rotor

Can any one provide the inspection procedure of MIMIC for VFD panel? Details: If someone wants to have a mimic in the VFD panel what are inputs considered for the mimic(like on,off,trip) whether we are able to add speed variation in the mimic(if so how can we get) and what are the parameters to be checked in the MIMIC during inspection?
