Short-circuit currents in turbogenerators
thesis
posted on 2018-01-17, 16:13 authored by Lek-Suan LimThe thesis is concerned with an investigation of several aspects of
the short-circuit currents which arise in turbogenerators. Of
particular interest is the phenomenon that one or more of the armature
currents may not pass through zero for a considerable period following
a fault at the armature terminals, so that the generator breaker may
face an extremely arduous duty. Rather than employing the familiar
2-axis analysis, the numerical study in the thesis is based on a
general-purpose digital phase model of the generator, since this is
ideally suited to the problems investigated. [Continues.]
