Does anyone know what RVFL stands for in Generator Nameplate "EXC. FLD AMPS-RVFL".
"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic ù and this we know it is, for certain ù then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature". û Nikola Tesla

Who's generator is it, may help you get a more definitive answer.

I looked thru some of the old GE info I have, didn't find anything but most of the stuff I have is for units smaller than 1MW.
Just about every generator nameplate I run across when it lists field volts and field amps it is at nominal voltage with generator at full kVA output.
Hope that helps, MikeL.

If a replacement exciter and/or voltage regulator can't supply the rated current and voltage then the alternator will not be able to produce full rated output.

RE: Generator Nameplate
going to double check on the R because typical nomenclature is
IFFL (amps field full load) or VFFL (volts field full load)
R is usually resistance
