If the excitation of generator is lost, it will continue to
generate power by taking excitation from grid. The flux
will pass through the surface of rotor which will cause
excessive heating of rotor. Further, around moon slots the
current will jump and may cause over heating around moon
slots of generator rotor beyond limits.
There is possibility of insulation failure of rotor winding
if operated for longer period at higher load, hence loss of
excitation relay is a must protection for generator. This
relay is further monitered by excitation supervision relay
in many of sets.
