<p>Apparatus for measuring load angle in a synchronous generator is disclosed. The synchronous generator is of a type comprising a main machine, an exciter for exciting the main machine, and a permanent magnet machine for exciting the exciter. The apparatus comprises means for sensing a waveform produced by the permanent magnet machine, means for sensing a waveform produced by the main machine, and means (20) for comparing the waveform produced by the permanent magnet machine with the waveform produced by the main machine to produce a measure of load angle. The measure of load angle may be used to provide a warning of potential pole slip.</p> |
