Transient characteristics of aircraft A-C generators

DURING the past 5 years transient analysis of aircraft a-c generators has become increasingly important. The vast number of excellent technical papers1¿3 published on this subject would indicate that no problem existed, and a literature survey would yield a solution to any problem no matter what the degree of complexity. However, problems do exist in transforming from conventional power frequencies to 400 cycles per second (cps) aircraft equipments and in ascertaining the idealizations which other authors used in the formulation of the various papers.
