Product Overview

The IS200EROCH1ABB is a custom exciter regulator options card developed by GE for Mark VI/Mark VIe and EX2100 excitation systems, primarily used for function expansion and parameter configuration of excitation systems. This module can transmit data from two positions on the regulator rack, featuring an on-board CPU slot, high-voltage electrolytic capacitors, backplane connectors and ISBUS interfaces. It supports regulator options, third-party ground detectors and terminal board power connections, and can work with modules like IS200ERGTH1A to detect ground resistance leakage in the generator excitation current.
Installed in standard Mark VI cabinet slots, the module integrates an RS-232 communication interface and on-board LED status indicators, supporting hot-swappable and online maintenance. It adapts to the TMR redundant architecture and enables long-term stable operation in harsh industrial environments such as power plants, petrochemical facilities and offshore platforms. As a key configuration module, it significantly improves the control accuracy and reliability of generator excitation systems.

Core Functions

  1. Precise Excitation Regulation: Realizes closed-loop control of generator voltage, excitation current and power factor with fast response and high accuracy, adapting to load fluctuations and working condition switching.

  2. System Stability Enhancement: Built-in Power System Stabilizer (PSS) suppresses low-frequency oscillations and improves the dynamic stability of generators and power systems.

  3. Multi-protection Safety: Integrates overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, undercurrent, over-temperature, over-frequency/under-frequency protection. It automatically triggers protection logic during faults to protect the excitation system and generator.

  4. Expanded I/O & Communication: Provides multi-channel analog/digital I/O channels, supports RS-232/RS-485 and ISBUS communication, enabling connection to sensors, actuators and upper-level systems for data exchange and remote monitoring.

  5. Flexible Configuration & Diagnosis: Supports parameter configuration and secondary development. On-board LEDs and diagnostic interfaces quickly locate fault types, reducing maintenance costs.

  6. Industrial-grade Reliability: Wide temperature range, anti-vibration, moisture/dust resistant, UL94 V‑0 flame retardant, adapting to harsh industrial environments. Supports redundant configuration and seamless upgrades.
