LS2100e Static Starter
Fully Integrated Static Starters for Heavy Duty Gas Turbine-Generators
The LS2100e starts heavy duty gas turbines by controlling the generator as a synchronous motor. It is an ac drive known as a load-commutated inverter or static-frequency converter. A static starter is generally a more economical starting device for a large gas turbine than a motor, diesel engine, or torque converter.
The LS2100e static starter provides excellent breakaway torque and low maintenance. The peer-to-peer communications with the gas turbine generator excitation control system simplifies operation and reduces maintenance cost.
Features & Benefits
- The compact size reduces cost and takes up less physical space than alternative starting methods for large gas turbines.
- High Acceleration Torque equals excellent performance.
- ControlST* Software Suite, a common software tool with a common data set, simplifies operation and reduces maintenance cost.
- Flexible Starter Configurations provide reliability and cost savings options.
- Precise Diagnostics allow for less mean time to repair.
- Liquid Cooling reduces noise and air conditioning requirements and improves reliability.
