Basler Offers Details on Integrated Retrofit Packages for Gas Turbines in Application Note EX-GTURB1


Owners of gas turbine driven generators built in the 1960s and 1970s face the increasingly frustrating challenge of maintaining original equipment excitation systems that are rapidly approaching obsolescence. These problems are increasingly affecting the owners of Pratt & Whitney Single/Twin Pacs, frequently provided with Electric Machinery generators, and owners of Westinghouse 251/501 gas turbines and General Electric Frame 5 gas turbines supplied with proprietary voltage regulator or excitation systems. Basler Electric's latest Application Note EX-GTURB1 offers details on voltage regulator/excitation system retrofits for these gas turbine generators.

Basler Electric's integrated regulator/exciter systems utilize the DECS-200 and DECS-400. These systems functionally replace the original OEM equipment and in many cases, fit into existing equipment cubicles. The packages are pre-designed systems that are factory-tested and ready for installation, designed to interface with existing switches and meters for integration into the existing hardware with minimal modification to the original control philosophy.
