Abstract :
Economical delivery of power from the terminals of large electric generators to transmission transformers may require forced cooling. This paper presents a method for calculating the cooling requirements. Operating characteristics of typical self-cooled and forced-cooled buses for 13,000 amp (amperes) are tabulated. Experimental results on a 10,000-amp liquid-cooled assembly demonstrate the validity of this method of calculation.
