Generator Electrical Parameters
Generator Electrical Parameters
(OP)
Hello Forum,
I am interested to understand what effect the variation in electrical parameters of a generator has on its construction, size and relative cost.
For example, if I have to select a generator with a high sub-transient reactance, how different in size is this machine compared to one with a smaller sub-transient reactance.
Any links to on-line guides would be appreciated.
Thanks

The actual size of the machine does not change, just clearances (e.g. air gap), shape of poles, sailent or non-salient poles, etc.
