The method of constructing complete capability diagrams for alternators is presented. The various limits of operation, namely rotor and stator heating, stator-end heating and steady-state stability are considered both for a salient pole and for the special case of a round-rotor machine. Methods are given to enable the diagrams to be drawn for various terminal voltages and also for the case of a generator plus unit transformer.

Inspec keywords: diagrams; synchronous generators

Subjects: Synchronous machines
