drop out-of-step. The reason is the steady-state stability limit as defined by the load angle
being 90°, which can only be reached when the unit is underexcited.

Figure 348:
Capability curve of a synchronous generator
40 protects the synchronous machines against an unstable operation due to loss of
excitation. A partial or total loss of excitation causes a reactive power intake from the
network to the machine, and the reactance of the system viewed from the machine
terminals turns negative. This kind of drop-of-reactance condition can be detected by
measuring the impedance of the system.
The operating characteristic is an offset-mho circle in the impedance plane, and the circle
is parameterized with the
Offset
,
Diameter
and
Displacement
setting values.
