If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?

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 exitation voltage?

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

Why terminal voltage of the self-excited shunt generator lower than that of the separately excited shunt generato?

Some generators are self excited; this means their terminal voltage is fed back to the excitation system to supply power to the rotor of the generator (which makes it into an electromagnet); the more power that is fed back, the stronger the electromagnet becomes, which makes it harder to turn the generator, which causes the generator to push out more power (simplified, really quick version). If there is a fault electrically near the terminal of a self excited generator, the terminal voltage will sage to near zero; this means the voltage supplied to the excitation system will drop by the same percentage (say the terminal voltage is 30% of what it should be, then the maximum supplied voltage to the excitation system drops to 30% of what it normally is, since P = V*I). Since the input power is less, the output of the generator will decrease (current will decrease). The terminal voltage is determined by the impedance between the generator and the fault such that V = I*Z; As I decreases, V will also continue to fall, causing the terminal voltage to sag even more. A non-self excited generator gets its' excitation power from the grid, specifically from a location that is electrically separated from its' terminal voltage. If the terminal voltage sagged to 30% (same fault location as above example), the excitation system voltage may be impacted slightly (say 2%) so the excitation system power is near maximum (98% for this example). Since the excitation system is much farther removed from the terminal voltage, it is not dependent upon it, thus the terminal voltage will not continue to sag as with a self excited system.


What is excitation and why is it needed for start up in an AC generator?

An alternator is just another name for a synchronous generator. Excitation is needed to create a magnetic field in the rotor. When to rotor is spun with excitation the magnetic field will cut through the stator field and produce an AC voltage in the stator field. In terms of an alternator with built in rectifier the stators AC voltage in the rectified to DC. The strength of excitation will determine the alternators output voltage. The AVR Automatic Voltage Regulator built into almost every alternator controls field current to maintain a constant output voltage.

excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
