In the old days, the AVR (excitation controller) was supplied loose by the generator manufacturer for others to mount in the switchboard. This was because the old components (valves transistors) were not capable of accepting the vibration of a generating set. Technology has progressed, and...

We need more data. Did the prime mover trip? alternators (generators) turn input power into current, so what happened to the input power?
