Estimation of Field Mutual Leakage Reactance by Line-to-Line Sudden Short Circuit Test and Effect of Reactance

This paper describes the effect of mutual leakage reactance in rotor circuit (Canay reactance) on analysis of medium capacity generator transient and dynamic behavior. The authors proposed the decision method of field mutual leakage reactance, and analyzed sudden short circuit and voltage dip on sudden load application by simulations using the electromagnetic transients program (ATP-EMTP) and compared the results with the experimental data.
