    I'm looking for information on peripheral speed design limits of synchronous generators. More specifically for 50 Hz hydrogenerators with with rated speed 100 - 300 rpm. As far as I understand the design limits of the peripheral speed is determined by mechanical stress (centrifugal forces) on...
