Abstract
The rotating rectifier is prone to be damaged in the exciter of the brushless excitation system, wherein a diode open-circuit fault which is common can affect the normal and safe operations of a generator. On the basis of the structure of the brushless exciter, this study, analysed the effect that an open-circuit in one and two diodes had on armature current and armature field, and put forward a new online detection method for diode open-circuit fault. In this method, two magnetic field detection coils are installed on the stator iron yoke of the brushless exciter, and the open-circuit fault of the diodes can be reflected by the induced voltage difference of the two detection coils. Using a 16-pole, three-phase brushless exciter as an example, the performance of this new diagnosis method was verified by using a finite element simulation.
