Introduction:

The permanent magnet generator refers to a power generation device that converts mechanical energy from thermal energy into electrical energy. It has the advantages of small size, low loss, and high efficiency. This power generation device uses permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field to drive the generator rotor to rotate, thereby generating electrical energy. Compared with traditional excitation generators, permanent magnet generators have higher efficiency and reliability.

Permanent magnet generator vs Excitation generator

There are significant differences between permanent magnet generators and excitation generators in several aspects.

1. Magnetic field source: The permanent magnet generator uses permanent magnets as the magnetic field source, and the magnetic field of the excitation generator is generated by current passing through the excitation winding.

2. Magnetic field strength and stability: The magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet motor is high and stable because the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet is maintained with its own characteristics and does not require an external power supply to maintain it. The magnetic field strength and stability of the excitation motor are controlled by the excitation current.

3. Control complexity: Since the magnetic field of the permanent magnet motor is stable, it is relatively easy to control and does not require a control circuit to adjust the external current in real time. The magnetic field of the excitation motor needs to be adjusted and controlled by controlling the excitation winding current through the control circuit.

4. Cost and application scope: Generally, permanent magnet motors are more expensive to manufacture, but in some specific application scenarios, the performance advantages of permanent magnet motors may make them a better choice. Since the excitation motor requires an external power supply, it can be used more widely in situations where flexible adjustment of the magnetic field is required.

In general, there are differences between permanent magnet generators and excitation generators in terms of magnetic field source, magnetic field strength and stability, control complexity, cost and application range.
