ALSPA ControGen SX

Powerful excitation system for small generators

ALSPA systems are designed to make basic plant operations easier to

manage and more flexible. With the new ALSPA ControGen SX, all-in-one
generator excitation system, Automation & Controls, a part of GE's Industrial
Solutions business, sets new standards of capacity and convenience.

A smart investment for safe

and reliable operation
In todays markets, balancing electricity
supply and demand is a major challenge.
Power producers are therefore looking for
more sophisticated and reliable generator
excitation systems and for reliable
ways to reduce their system capital and
maintenance costs.
Building on more than 45 years of
experience, GEs new ALSPA ControGen
SX combines deep knowledge of generator
excitation systems with global fleet
operations and maintenance experience to
offer the most advanced, cost effective and
powerful excitation system on the market.
ALSPA ControGen SX is a compact all-in-
one, fully-digital control system suitable
for static and brushless applications in
new or retrofit projects. It is designed to
manage either thyristors or an IGBT power
bridge, allowing levels of continuous output
excitation currents that are unprecedented
for such a compact excitation system:
50 Amps with the internal power bridge
200 Amps with an external power bridge
Suitable for all fuels and all types of
generators, ControGen SX is the excitation
system of choice for power producers
seeking to cut overhead by using the
same excitation system over an extended
generator power range across their fleet.
