Field Flashing Synchronous Generator

When power goes completely out, it is necessary to excite the fields of power system generators with battery power to re-start the generators before switching back to using generator output power for field excitation; this is known as a black start.

We are designing a black start field exciter system for the 15kVA synchronous generator in the Gauss Johnson Lab to be used for research on black start conditions.
