Abstract :
Practical system tests of the damping action of generators with and without low resistance damper windings, but otherwise identical, have been made. The effects of normal variations of generator field circuit resistance, field current, and loading, were investigated. Data for checking calculated machine constants also were obtained. The tests results are valuable from a quantitative, as well as from a qualitative standpoint.
