Generator exciter system: this system supplies
the field current (rotor d.c. current) to maintain
generator stator voltage and controls reactive
power flow. There exist a variety of exciter types
in use:
DC generator: driven by the main prime motor
(older power plants)
AC generator: also driven by the main prime
motor. Its voltage is rectified by diodes
mounted on the rotating shaft.
Static exciter: the excitation power is obtained
directly from terminals and rectified and fed
into main generator via slip rings

Armature reaction effects
Under load condition, some factors cause the difference

between Ea (internal voltage) and Va (external voltage):
The distortion of the air-gap magnetic field by the

current flowing in the stator (armature reaction). The
current flowing in the stator windings produces a
magnetic field of its own. That flux modifies the
fundamental field flux
The self-inductance of the armature coils.
The resistance of the armature coils.
