Abstract :
Little information has been presented in the past regarding the behavior of d-c machines during flashover particularly as regards the torque developed during this abnormal operation condition. This paper presents the results of a series of torque measurements made during flashover tests on a d-c generator. The time variation of torque during flashover and the significance of speed, excitation, and fault resistance are discussed.
