Standstill frequency response (SSFR) testing and modeling of salient-pole synchronous machines are presented for two machines with integral and nonintegral numbers of stator slots per pole per phase. Frequency responses at different rotor positions have been investigated to explore the effects of rotor position in a machine with a fractional slot winding, as the electromagnetic fields and the armature magnetomotive forces do not precisely repeat every pole. The test results do not show any significant differences for various direct and quadrature axes rotor positions. The authors obtained a negative value of differential leakage inductance as theoretically postulated in the literature. The pertinent features of testing and modeling of salient-pole synchronous machines are described to point out the differences with SSFR testing of round rotor turbogenerators extensively published in the literature.
