Generator Fault Levels
- Thread starter UKEng
- Start date
The main quantity you're looking for is the subtransient reactance(x''d), which isn't necessarily tied to size. A typical value is .15, but it's best to get this quantity from the gen. manufacturer. To find the amount of fault current a gen. can deliver, take the FLA of the gen., and divide that by x''d.
