Discussion on “operating characteristics of large turbogenerators” (field), and “the transient reactions of alternators” (Durgin and Whitehead), Boston, Mass., June 28, 1912. (see proceedings for June, 1912)

H. M. Hobart: I consider Mr. Field´s paper to be an excellent statement of the situation in regard to turbogenerators. Developments of the last few years have made it quite necessary to introduce considerable deviation from what was formerly considered the best design. This has come about largely from the necessity for better construction because of the stresses due to the large short-circuit currents, and for other reasons.
