Abstract

THE COMPLETE or partial loss of the d-c supply to a large synchronous machine can have serious consequences. This may be loss of stability in the power system with the resulting major loss of service or costly damage to the machine itself. On the other hand, it is desirable to maintain the machine on the line as long as possible supplying kilowatts to the system.
