摘要：For synchronous 3-phase electrical generator machine design, the ability to predict the synchronous reactance of a particular machine design is of prime importance. The synchronous reactance has a significant impact on the magnitude of the fault currents generated within the machine during an event such as a 3 phase short-circuit. Power system designers routinely use the generator synchronous reactance as a key parameter to aid in the design of the complete power generation system. For new generator designs the synchronous reactance is routinely tested for as part of a thorough evaluation of the generator performance characteristics. In the paper, the author is presenting comparatively the application of: numerical method based on the FEA of magnetic field distribution, computed by using FEM; analytical traditional method.
