The armature end region heating imposes a third operational limit to the
generator in the underexcited region (curve CD in Fig. 1). The main
generator magnetic flux is a radial flux, parallel to the stator laminations.
However, the armature end-turn leakage flux is an axial flux,
perpendicular to the stator laminations. The resulting eddy currents in
.the laminations produce localized heating in the end region
