7.12.2 Functionality
SEMOD151269-4 v8
There are limits for the under-excited operation 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 is lost.
