Abstract :
The unequal distribution of voltage in rotating machine multiturn coils caused by switching transients, and means for alleviating the stresses occasioned by these transients are discussed in this paper. A brief description also is given of field measurements of switching transients and of tests to determine the effectiveness of capacitors as a protection against switching transients. It is shown that capacitors connected between each phase and ground near the machine terminals gives effective protection.
