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.
How variable speed generator works and its specification?
First you have to understand how a generator works. Basically the excitation voltage is what varies according to generator output. Usually on a power source that has a inconsistant rpm, the excitation voltage will vary similar to a govenor in order to hold the generator output constant.
How the DC generator are classified according to field excitation?
on the basis of field excitation, dc generators are classified into the following types:-1- separetly excited dc generators2-self excited dc generatorsthe behaviour of a dc generator on load depends upon the method of field excitation adopted
What is pmg stator?
PMG permanent magnet generator is used for excitation or rotor in altrnator
Where does the voltage that is necessary for field excitation on the rotor originates from?
The excitation current is provided by a small self-excited pilot generator, attached to the same shaft as the alternator's rotor.
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.
Why does the no-load characteristic differ for increasing and decreasing excitation current?
The no-load characteristic of a generator differs for increasing and decreasing excitation current due to magnetic hysteresis, residual magnetism, and core saturation effects. When the excitation current increases, the magnetic domains in the iron core gradually align with the applied magnetic field, resulting in a higher generated electromotive force (EMF). However, as the excitation current decreases, these magnetic domains do not immediately return to their original unaligned state. This lag in realignment causes the generated voltage to remain higher during the decreasing phase of excitation than during the increasing phase at the same level of excitation current. This phenomenon is known as magnetic hysteresis. Even when the excitation current is zero, the magnetic core retains some level of magnetisation, known as residual magnetism. This residual magnetic field means that when the excitation current starts increasing again, it takes additional current to overcome this residual alignment before the generated voltage rises significantly. As a result, the voltage is initially lower when increasing the excitation current from zero. Conversely, during the decreasing phase, the residual magnetism keeps the voltage higher than it would be if the core were fully demagnetised, further contributing to the difference between the increasing and decreasing curves. As the excitation current increases, the magnetic core of the generator approaches saturation. Near saturation, any further increase in excitation current results in only a small increase in generated voltage because the core's magnetic domains are almost fully aligned. When the excitation current decreases from this saturated state, the magnetic domains gradually return to a less aligned state. This gradual realignment causes the generated voltage to decrease differently than it increased, contributing to the asymmetry between the increasing and decreasing excitation phases.
What is the excitation system in a generator used for?
The excitation system is used to control the excitation of the rotating field in the armature. By increasing the armature current, it in turn increases the magnetic flux in the armature coil. This has the effect of increasing the voltage output of the generator. By lowering the armature current this in turn lowers the generator output voltage. The generator's voltage regulator automatically adjusts the output voltage continuously as the applied load on the generator changes.
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
Generator excitation voltage?
the voltage which is given for creating magnetic field in a generator is known as excitation voltage.
What are different methods of excitation of dc generator?
when the current is passing through the winding then it is called "Excitation". Types of excitation (1)seperately excited generator. (2)self excited generator. self generator is classified into 3 types. 1.shunt generator. 2.series generator. 3.compound generator. compoud generator is again classified into 2 types. 1.short shunt generator. 2.long shunt generator.
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 is the basic principle of Generator excitation?
The basic principle of generator excitation is that once the gasket of tie generator is being checked, the generator excits as if the block is not inserted. By egbebu emmanuel
What is excitation in generator and 2 methods each?

What is a brush less generator?
It is self excited generator, no external excitation circuit.
