Electrical Test

(OP)
This is relating to synchronous motors, M. voltage.  What is a Steep Front Impulse test used to determine the condition of?

RE: Electrical Test

It is used to evaluate the transient voltage withstand capability of the stator insulation. This is particularly important for motors to be applied with variable speed drives due to their steep switching waveforms.

See IEEE standard 112 and the following articles.
