Abstract
Abstract An arrangement for the rotating thyristor excitation [RT excitation] in a turbogenerator which is suited for very high centrifugal force loadings in which the carrier discs of the rectifiers wheels are designed in the form of hubs mounted about the shaft secure against turning and having hollow-cylindrical projections extending axially in two directions to form with the shaft recesses into which the semiconductors including their cooling elements and their protective external components as well as the electronic driver units are disposed along the inside diameter of the cylindrical projection on the hubs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
An arrangement for a rotating thyristor excitation in a turbogenerator including a machine housing and having at least one rectifier wheel including a rotating carrier disc on which the semi-conductor components including elements and protective external components and associated electronic driver units for the semi-conductor components are disposed, the turbogenerator including at least a three-phase main exciter machine, wherein the improvment comprises a carrier disc of the rectifier wheel in the form of a hub securely mounted over the shaft, said hub having hollow-cylindrical projections extending axially on both sides to form with the shaft an annular recess, with the semi-conductor components including their cooling elements and protective external components disposed on the inside of one projection and the associated driver units on the inside of the other projection and insulated against the carrier disc and a contactless and brushless signal transmission device having a stationary part mounted in the machine housing of the turbogenerator and having a rotating part mounted to the outside diameter of said carrier disc.
