  • Abstract
    THE FIRST INSTALLATION of the Magamp regulator and excitation system on a turbine generator was placed in service in the Springdale Station of the West Penn Power Company on April 1, 1953. The machine to which it was applied is a 50,000-kw 3,600-rpm hydrogen-cooled topping unit. Performance tests were conducted on the unit on July 19, 1953. The purpose of this digest is to present the operating experience and the results of the tests.
