The invention relates to an electrically excited machine (2), in particular for use in a steering system of a motor vehicle, comprising: a stator with a stator winding having multiple phases; an exciter winding (3) which is arranged so as to couple an excitation magnetic field into a rotor that is movably disposed relative to the rotor so that a magnetic field is generated in an air gap between the stator and the rotor; and an exciting circuit having a fuse (11) which is automatically triggered in the event of an overcurrent.
