When the rotor spins will lead to the intersection between the stator winding field coils resulting electromotive force (GGL). In the process to generate a voltage in the main generator requires strengthening or excitacy. That is using a current transformer (CT = Current Transformer) / PT (Potential Transformer Voltage Transformer =) Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) as a conduit for the AVR input.
Further changes in current and voltage are measured by CT / PT AVR is used to shift the prisoner in the AVR appropriate size changes. The change in the resistance value AVR strengthening effect on the system as a whole or excitacy so that the output voltage of the generator will remain intact stability.

Voltage-current generated by a pilot exciter voltage gain for the main generator exciter, the main generator exciter is a direct current shunt generator with separate reinforcement.
Strengthening of the main generator is supplied by the main exciter field via a switch amplifier.
At the start of operation of the generating units, after the turbine-generator at the nominal rotation (750 rpm) charging voltage of the main generator is done by turning the hand wheel full (shunt regullar) clockwise (lowering the price to the minimum resistance) before entering the amplifier switch field ( VVA).
In the generator output voltage ± 6 kV, voltage regullar further twist in the same direction with the shunt regullar up with the same direction as the shunt regullar pointing up to 6 KV generator output. At the output voltage of the generator is the first step for the preparation of parallel units with nets manually.
