When the turbine trips, the dump valve spring is actuated to cut off the air supply to the NRVs. The
Existing air in the NRV cylinder is discharged to atmosphere and this results in NRV being force closed.This is to provide adequate over speed protection by closing of NRVs in extraction linesAlso whenever extraction relay dump valve is actuated, the air signal it provides to the blow-down
Tank will be interrupted and exhausted, thereby opening the blow down valve.

91. MAXIMUM/ MINIMUM FIELD INTERVENTION
Max. Filed current above 1326 Amps may damage the rotor winding. So over excitation limiterintervenes whenever the machine loading (MW& MVAR) is beyond its capability and brings down the
excitation, thereby keeping the machine within its thermal capability. But this limiter intervenes after a certaindelay so as to permit temporary over excitation. Limiters do not impair the control behavior of the AVR as overexcited condition can exist in the event of a load raise or because of short time faults in the power supply
networks.The AVR reacts to a distant fault and applies ceiling excitation (to the tune of twice full load excitation.
limited to a few seconds), thereby increasing the synchronizing torque of the machine and prevents it form-
loosing synchronism. How ever if the fault persists and not been cleared by a set time, delayed rotor currentlimiter comes into operation preventing the Generator and excitation system from damage.
This limiter intervention level also get affected by the position of a switch in UCB Generator panel whicdecides the capability limits for the generator depending up on generator casing hydrogen pressure.
Min. Field current below 129 Amps may result in Overheating in stator end winding.
During under excitation rotor field is very weak and it normally happens when the machine is operatingin leading MVAR region i.e., when the system is lightly loaded. Under this condition of reactive powerabsorption the rotor end windings are thermally stressed.

The most important symptom of crack propagation is the typical increase of vibration ofAmplitude of one or two mills with a sudden temperature drop. As the crack progressed in a
