AYR stability checked on load. HT line connected to the network Stator voltage must not go over 105% of 13800V: all depends on the load at the end of the HT line and the transformer ratio, Load and voltage at the end of the HT line must be steady during all the test. 9.2. Test procedure Generator is set at about OMW, + 65 MVAR, 13800V If the generator full load test can be done, this testis finished, generator capability is OK 93.

Network and generator transformer gave a voltage over the generator contractual voltage, when If and the MVAR are increasing. As we got 40 MVAR with 81MW, for a 103.5 % voltage, as the AVR Q regulation is limited at +/- 20 MVAR, it was decided, with Nordconsult, to let the limitation on 845A, generator being able to go further.
