potential source rectifier exciter
a source of energy for the field winding of a synchronous machine obtained from a rectified stationary AC potential source. The AC potential can be obtained from the machine phase voltages, or from an auxiliary source. The components of the exciter are the potential source transformer and the rectifiers (including possible gate-circuitry).
