What happens if the load on the electrical generator exceeds its power generation? and why?
To be more precise, suppose we have a standard induction generator operating at frequency $\nu=50\:\mathrm{Hz}$ and voltage $V_0$, and rated to produce a maximum power $P_0$, and that we connect this to a load $R<V_0^2/P_0$, which will try to draw more power than the generator's capacity. Obviously the details will depend on the type of generator, but, generally speaking: what will be the generator's response, and what physical processes are involved?
