Abstract :
A full scale three-phase multi-stress accelerated electrical aging test facility for stator bars is described. Electrical aging characteristics may be determined under simultaneous electrical, mechanical and electrical stress at either 60 Hz or an accelerated frequency of 400 Hz. Typical initial aging data are presented and discussed
