It can be found on an electrical generator set. It is used to supply the DC voltage for the field coils.
I'm no expert but I believe the high frequency is due to the number of poles (North-South) of the pilot exciter. The frequency of a generator is directly link to its speed and the number of poles. Most generators will run at 1800RPM and will have 4 poles to achieve 60Hz. The pilot exciter being on the same shaft will also run at 1800 rpm but will probably have more then two poles. finding the formula for frequency of a generator should help you in answering your question. The next question should be why would you build a pilot exciter with multiple poles and a high frequency? The output of the pilot exciter is going to be rectified to DC so it would make sense to do it with a high frequency and get a smoother DC signal out of the rectifier.
Exciter controls the magnetic field in the generator system and controls the output voltage and/or current.
ceiling voltage is the maximum field voltage that the exciter can withstand before going into unstability
3 phase synchronous generator or motor require DC current in the rotor. Conventional way of supplying DC requires use of commutators, which requires timely maintenance. To overcome this Brush less Excitation systems is used. Brushless Escitation system consists of one pilot excitor - DC generator with rotating PM as the field and the armature as the stator. The armature of the pilot excitor is connected to the stator of main excitor which is a 3-phase synchronous generator (please do not get confused, this is not our alternator but the exciter for the alternator). The rotor of the main exciter is connected to a diode bridge to get DC. This is connected to the rotor of our alternator.
its creates the magnetic field trough the electricity,which we called exciter for it.we send some electric shocks to the field coils,then it will magnetized the stater of the generator. When Diesel or petrol engine rotates the rotter of the generator, EXCITED stater act as a magnet. Depend on alternator`s design,rotter or stater one always EXITED to be a magnet. When engine turns the Alternator against the magnetic field,electricity is produced.
In the operation of a standard generator, the exciter rotor and stator provide DC-type energy to an AC-type supply. This allows the exciter to maintain a constant DC source.
Static exciter mounts as part of the motor control package, separate from the motor. Rotor exciter mounts on the rotor of the motor.
The rotor must have a magnetic field in order to generator voltage in stator winding. The exciter circuit generates this DC filed in the rotor.
Exciter - band - was created in 1978.

Exciter - album - was created in 2000-06.
To start the ac motor at starting by exciter.
Impact Exciter was created on 2010-07-07.
The Yamaha Exciter 570 has a top speed of 105 miles per hour. The Exciter I had 77.2 horsepower and ran at 7200 RPMs.
the prime mover rotates the rotor of the alternator. the exciter contains stator coils with remanence induces voltage in the rotating windings of the exciter rotor which is then rectified and goes through the main field winding. the rotating rotor flux cuts through the stator windings inducing voltage on them. the AVR controls the field current to the exciter stator coils. DC current for pole formation.
exciter is a component in a electrical generator and or the low power rf stages of a radio transmitter
ceiling voltage is the maximum field voltage that the exciter can withstand before going into unstability
