Option Description

Rated kV

Generator rated kV.

Rating

Rated apparent power for the generator in MVA or kVA units.

Type

Generator type. This value is for reference only except for HG and SYN-SP types, which have their momentary reactances determined by X’dv.

    • IND - Induction
    • SYN-DP - Distributed pole synchronous
    • SYN-SP - Salient pole without amortisseur winding
    • SYN-SPA - Salient pole with amortisseur winding
    • SYN-COND - Condenser
    • HG w/o A - Hydro generator without amortisseur winding (same as SP)

Power Factor

Generator operating power factor. This value is for reference only and does not affect analysis.

Efficiency

Generator operating efficiency. This value is for reference only and does not affect analysis.

RPM

Revolutions per minute of the machine. This value is for reference only and does not affect analysis.

By default, ANSI uses 3600 and IEC uses 3000, unless the default equipment settings for generators are set to use a different value.

GSU Transformer

This field is available only when you configure your system to IEC short circuit. If the generator has a unit substation, then the ID name of the unit transformer is specified in this field. This association is required in order to implement the impedance correction on the generation station unit (GSU) or power station unit (PSU).
