Computer evaluation of high-temperature aircraft A-C electrical system designs

This paper describes a design and analog computer study of a high-temperature aircraft a-c electrical system. The study includes an extensive, nonlinear representation of the a-c alternator and shows the effects of temperature, load, and regulator and exciter nonlinear behavior on system stability and transient performance. Torque-limiting techniques are evaluated and a computer approach for study of the reactive load division loop is developed.
