Abstract
A method and an apparatus for providing protection to a generator are disclosed. A reference is determined out of rated capability of the generator. Based on the reference, and field current and output conditions of the generator, there is determined a drop in generator performance due to a temperature condition of the generator. Accounting for the drop in generator performance, operation of the generator may be modified to a generator output limit mode.
