Excitation Transformer Overview

The document describes an excitation system for a generator. AC power at 132kV enters an on-load tap changer (OLTC) transformer which steps down the voltage to 11kV AC. This 11kV AC powers both the generator and a permanent magnetic generator (PMG) which converts the AC to DC. The DC from the PMG powers an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) which controls the generator's excitation to maintain a constant output voltage.
