Excitation is a science word for the process of giving something extra energy so it moves to a higher, more active state. use it when an electron in an atom jumps to a higher energy level. Electrical engineers use it for the process of creating a magnetic field in a machine like a generator. It's a formal, technical cousin of 'excitement' - you won't hear people use it to talk about everyday feelings.
(物理/科學)激發; (電機)激磁；正式、技術性用詞，日常生活較少用

- Wheelslip automatically causes the main generator field excitation to be reduced; the load regulator is forced back to minimum excitation and, if operating in one of the two stages of traction motor field divert, causes reversion to full field.
