ANEESH KUMARUnfollow Follow ANEESH KUMAR ANEESH KUMAR SHANDILYA The Generator will will work as an induction generator if it is synchronized with another generator of grid, in case it does not trip on failure of excitation protection. It will draw reactive current from the system. The rotor will become hot and may get damaged. 6 days ago Unlike Like
