Answer
# 3
An alternator is AC generator. It will generate power only
when it is rotated by a prime mover and supplied electrical
field in its rotor circuit. The alternator when producing
electric power is connected with grid and supply electric
power. Here the prime mover supplies active power and field
maintains the voltage.
when primemover fails but excitor supplies rotor field, the
alternator will continue to rotate on grid frequency for
which it will draw power from grid. the reverse power will
flow, nothing wrong will hapen with alternator but if prime
mover is steam turbine there is every possibility of rotor
blade failure of L.P. turbine.
If prime mover with rotor field also fails, alternator will
continue to run but it will damage turbine and generator
rotor as well.In this case the alternator will take active
power and field from grid. The field current will flow
through the surface of rotor through moon slot which will
excessively heat rotor which may damage rotor winding.

Grounding. Dear all at one of my site we checked the amps at the earthing cable to the alternator it was found 125 to 130 A. at the neutal cable in same machine found 146A. in the same plant checked the earthing current on other alternator it was 52A, and neutral 116 A. we are facing problems with our controller and the card was damaged once. can that neutral/GND current be a reason? as there is common grounding for the Alternator,Brkr panel,Transformer?  2
