A new approach to determine transient generator winding and damper currents in case of internal and external faults and abnormal operation. III. Results

For pt.II see IEEE Winter Meeting, New Orleans, LA, 1986. A novel method for analyzing the steady-state and transient currents in the stator, rotor, and damper windings of a large generator is discussed, and the application of the method to five classes of problems of practical importance is described. These are (1) internal phase-to-phase fault in a two-circuit machine; (2) 180 degrees out-of-phase synchronization; (3) three-phase short circuit at generator terminals; (4) clearing of a three-phase system fault; and (5) unbalanced steady-state negative phase sequence load of 6%. The authors show the individual damper bar currents and energies or electric power loadings for these cases and, for one example, the time variations of stator and damper winding currents. The investigation was conducted on a standard two-pole generator that was designed for 60 Hz operation and has a rating of 700 MW.>
