windage losses have been determined from shaft power measurements at various cooling gas
densities. See Section 6.3. The bearing and hydrogen seal losses have been determined by
measurement of the oil volume flow rates and the oil temperature rises.

9 Reactances and Time constants
9.1 Sudden Short Circuit Reactances and Time Constants
Three-phase sudden short circuit tests were performed at 50 Hz from no-load at voltages in Table

determine the direct axis reactances and time constants. The data for the three phases were
averaged for each voltage test point. The resulting reactances and time constants are listed in Table
22. The reactances are plotted as a function of the test voltage, as shown in Figure 8, to determine
the corresponding rated voltage and rated current values. The reactances have been determined for
the rated frequency, current, and voltage corresponding to the rating in Table 1.

10.2 Inertia Moment (OC unexcited retardation test)

The test was performed in open circuit configuration, without field excitation. The driving motor
power is switched off and the shaft deceleration is measured to conclude on the inertia moment.
The value obtained for the generator is 15026 kgm2.
10.3 Inertia Constant (OC excited retardation test)

The test was performed in open circuit configuration, with field excitation and rated terminal
voltage at rated speed. The driving motor power is switched off and the shaft deceleration is
measured to conclude on the inertia constant.
The value obtained for the generator is 0.710 seconds.
