7.3.2 Functionality
There are limits for the low excitation of a synchronous machine. A reduction of the
excitation current weakens the coupling between the rotor and the stator. The machine
may lose the synchronism and start to operate like an induction machine. Then, the
reactive power consumption will increase. Even if the machine does not loose
synchronism it may not be acceptable to operate in this state for a long time. Reduction
of excitation increases the generation of heat in the end region of the synchronous
machine. The local heating may damage the insulation of the stator winding and the
iron core.
To prevent damages to the generator it should be tripped when excitation becomes too
low.
