Why does an over excited synchronous generator
Over-flux and over-excitation are inter-connected problems. Basically over-excitation will generate reactive power and an under excited
result in over-flux. synchronous generator absorbs reactive power?

These problems happens before the generator is connected to the grid, usually during What is the meaning of “under-excitation” in a
startups. Over-excitation happens when there is excessive current being fed to the rotor generator?
windings corresponding to the rotor speed and causes over-flux to the stator core and
stator winding. The cause usually are faults from terminal voltage feedback sensor which
fails to give the correct voltage reading to AVR, thus AVR continues to ramp up the
excitation current excessively which causes over excitation then followed by over-flux.

The main causes of generator overfluxing are as follows: (1) the cause of generator
overcurrent is the short circuit outside the generator, which causes the generator to output
a large short circuit current to the short circuit point; (2) the result of generator overcurrent
is that the short circuit current causes the stator coil to overheat and burn down.
