By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.

What is a reverse KVAR relay?

The reverse KVAR relay protects a generator from a loss of excitation. When the excitation system is lost, reactive power will flow from the system back into the generator. When this happens, induced currents at twice the system frequency will flow in the rotor windings and rotor structure.


How do you stabilize or regulate ac three phase voltage and frequency output from natural gas generator?

A natural gas generator connected to the grid has its voltage and speed (frequency) stabilised by being connected to the grid. All generators on a grid run synchronously, and it happens because if one generator has a tendency to lag behind it will produce less power and thereby maintain its speed.


What happens when heavy loads are connected to an electrical generator?

If the load is too heavy the voltage droops because of the drop across the generator's internal impedance.


What happens to power generated from a generator if not consumed?

The unused power goes to "waste"


What does 50 hertz or 60 hertz mean in an electrical generator?

The unit hertz means "cycles per second" and is a measure of the frequency of variation of anything which changes during a set period of time, including electric current and voltage. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 50 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 50 times per second. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 60 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 60 times per second. The Hertz value can be changed on the generator by increasing or decreasing the speed (RPM) of the prime mover. The generator has a feed back unit that monitors the frequency and automatically applies more power to the prime mover if the load increases and the generator RPM starts to slow down. The reverse happens if the load drops off and the generator starts to speed up, the power to the prime mover will be reduced. On a diesel generator it is the fuel flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value. On a water turbine it is the water flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value.

What happens if excitation fails in parallel oprating generator?

when excitation fails,Reactive power will be supplied by the system to which the generator is connected and generator will work as induction generator and its speed will rise a little. generator which was in over excitation mode will work in underexcitation.but there is under excitation limit which should not be reached so we should detect loss of excitation and trip generator


What happens at the rated value of the voltage of the generator?

The rated voltage of a generator decreases due to many causes such as armature reaction, overloading of the generator and AVR failure/ weak excitation voltage.

How does a Van de Graaff generator build up a static charge?

A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!


What happens to the resistance when the frequency is doubled?

Impedance of a coil or a capacitor does depend on the excitation frequency,but resistance has no relationship to frequency.


What happens if water hits terminal velocity?

Nothing "happens". This occurs all the time.


What happens to hydrogen at 20 degree's?

Are you working on a hydrogen generator?


What is meant by excitation frequency?

Excitations frequency is the frequence of the electron making a quantum spring from a higher level to an lower. In cemical reactions the excitations happens alle the time, an it happens in a frequence.


What happens before terminal velocity takes place?

Before reaching terminal velocity, an object will fall faster and faster.


What happens if less current rating fuse is connected to function generator?

By reducing the output fusing of a generator, the total output of the generator will also be reduced. The capacity of the generator will remain the same but the fault trip point will be lowered.

What happens if the synchronous motor exceeds its load capacity?

If load on a generator is greater than the generator can provide, the generator will begin to slow down. If it slows down too much, it will lose synchronism.
