A four-pole Y-connected three-phase synchronous generator rated at 200-kVA, 415-V, 50-Hz and 0.80-laggining power factor. Its synchronous resistance is 0.0502/phase. Under the full-load conditions, the core losses of this generator are 8 kW, and the friction and windage losses are 10 kW. The generator was tested to determine its equivalent circuit parameters by performing the open- circuit and short-circuit test and the following results were obtained.
