    Over Excited AC Generator

    Sir's, Why will an over excited AC generator produce a lagging power factor current? Does it follow that an under excited generator will produce a leading PF current. Many thanks.

    Armature Reaction, The Effect Of Reactive Load

    Am I correct in thinking that a capacitive load on a generator has the effect of magnetizing the feild, and inductive loads demagnetize the field and that this is due to armature reaction. What is happening here and why do these type of loads cause this to happen. Many thanks.
