Failures in the excitation system of a synchronous ge-

nerator may cause severe damage to the rotor of the
generator as well as undesirable operating conditions:

Failure Effect

in parallel operation ⇒ System stability endangered
AVR failure; undercurrent System undervoltage if
in single operation ⇒ System stability endangered
AVR failure; overcurrent Excessive reactive current flow to the system
in parallel operation ⇒ Thermal overload of the exciter winding
