Effects of Unbalanced Current on Turbine-Generators

In the application of turbine-generators, the effects of unbalanced current on the generator must be given more consideration as the unit loading of generators is increased. Types of generator rotor construction are discussed and representative calculated temperatures obtained under fault conditions are given. Examples of operating experiences are included to provide a better concept of the capability of generators under unbalanced loading conditions.
