Edison system was the cause of many house fires and it required a lot of stations. Teslas system was more potent and could carry electricity for miles. Even bulbs we use today were invented by him. The first things we have to know about bulbs lights is that Edison did not invent those, but only improve them by filling them with copper linings of metals. The second thing is that the Edison patent is outlawed in many countries including the United States and the patent used is the Tesla patent 455,069, dated June 30, 1891. In the Tesla bulbs, the union was better and never had a case of one catching fire like the Edison bulbs. He also made them to allow them to turn on wirelessly.

What is the difference between generator over excitation versus under excitation when attached to the grid?

Over Excitation is a condition when the Excitation System is providing too much field current and as a result, the rotor of the generator will over heat. The Excitation System is equipped with an Over Excitation Limiter. This limiter acts to reduce the Excitation Current if this condition exists Underexcitation is a condition when the generator is not getting enough Excitation Current. If the generator does not get enough Excitation Current, it can be un-synchronized with the grid. We call this slipping a pole. If this occurs, the generator can be severely damaged.

What are the Advantage of three phase motors over single phase?

A 3 phase system needs only to use 3 or 4 conductors, as against 6 conductors if it were 3, single phase conductors The amount of copper used in a 3 phase is much less than what would be needed in a single phase system carrying the same current, this reduction in copper allows for weight reduction and cost savings. The power losses in a 3 phase system are much less than in a single phase system.
