misconnected rotor wires.
(OP)
If the wires from a rotating rectifier assembly to the main rotor of a three phase synchronous generator are reversed what is the effect on the line voltage of that generator ?
Many thanx in advance (hoping to avoid an embarrassing situation)

RE: misconnected rotor wires.
If the set is self excited you may not get voltage build up. If you don't get voltage build up, flash the field with a DC source (automotive battery). You should have no further problems once you get voltage buildup. A self excited set depends on residual magnetism to build up voltage. A reversal in the field circuit (more commonly in the Automatic Voltage Regulator output) works against the residual magnetism. Once the residual is re-established in the correct direction there should be no more issues.
