By increasing the field current (current flowing through the rotor windings), the magnetic field generated by these windings will increase. This increased magnetic field will result in a larger current flow in the stator windings (the output of the generator). This in turn causes a larger pull against the rotation of the rotor, causing it to slow down. The governor will then kick in, allowing more steam/ power to the prime mover to keep speed steady.

Assuming all is working correctly, the output power will increase as the magnetic field is increased (to a limit).

How does temperature affect magnets?

Heat, because it affects magnetic molecules, causes a drop in magnetic field strength. Cooling a magnet has the opposite effect: reducing the resistance in the molecules and increasing the net field strength.

What affect does a leading power factor have on alternator generator excitation currents?

When a leading power factor load is applied, the voltage of the genset or genset bus rises, and the voltage regulation system reduces exciter power, reducing the strength of the magnetic field. If the field fails, the generator set may slip a pole, which results in potentially catastrophic alternator damage. pawan


What occurs if the size of the magnet is change?

If the size of a magnet is changed, it can affect the overall strength of the magnetic field it produces. Generally, a larger magnet will have a stronger magnetic field, while a smaller magnet will have a weaker magnetic field. However, other factors such as the magnet's composition and shape can also influence the strength of the magnetic field.


Can a magnetic field affect the performance of electrical circuits?

You better believe it can, but only if it's changing, otherwise the magnetic field can just pull or push the electrons in the circuit towards or away from it, but it can't slow them down. If the magnetic field is changing, a phenomenon called inductance happens. Inductance is an applied current to a circuit by a changing magnetic field. As you might imagine, an additional applied current to a circuit can definitely change the circuit's behavior and alter its performance.


Can you use magnetic devices for pain along with Fentanyl patch?

It won't affect the patch performance, but given the strength of Fentanyl patches you probably won't notice any change with a magnetic pain device.
