    Excitation Winding
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a generator with a burnt rotor winding that was rewound but failed again after one day. The generator has a main winding providing 220 volts A.C. and an excitation winding supplying 135 volts A.C. to the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), which outputs about 80 volts D.C. to the rotor. A mechanic suggests that the excitation voltage should be around 70 volts A.C. and the D.C. voltage to the rotor should be 18 volts D.C., indicating a potential short between the main and rotor windings. The ongoing issue of the rotor winding burning repeatedly raises questions about whether the fault lies in the AVR, stator winding, excitation winding, or the entire stator system.

I have a generator.
Single phase
220 volt A.C output
Frequency 50 Hz
2000 kVA

Rotor winding of my generator was burnt.
It was rewinded but it burnt again after 1 day.
There are 2 types of windings in stator one main winding which gives 220 volt A.C output and 2nd is excitation winding which is giving 135 volt A.C to AVR and then AVR is giving about 80 volt D.C to rotor winding for excitation.
But mechanic says that excitation voltage that are abtain from excitation winding to AVR should be about 70 volt A.C and the D.C voltage which is given to rotor from AVR should be 18 volt D.C.
According to him main winding and rotor winding are short to each other so that's why excitation winding is giving high voltage.

Now in this situation I think AVR is exciting the rotor after regulating voltage and main output is still 220 because of AVR.
But AVR is between excitation winding and rotor winding so it shoult burn first. Why rotor winding is burning again and again?
Now where is the fault in AVR, stator winding, excition winding or complete stator winding.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
