Abstract: Contains instructions for conducting the more generally applicable and accepted tests to determine the performance characteristics of synchronous machines. Although the tests described are applicable in general to synchronous generators, synchronous motors (larger than fractional horsepower), synchronous condensers, and synchronous frequency changers, the descriptions make reference primarily to synchronous generators and synchronous . Inspection and test procedures of Rotating Machinery, Synchronous Motors and Generators (On photo: Small machine test set – realtime-windowsserver.com) Compare equipment nameplate datawith drawings and specifications. Inspect physical and mechanical condition. Inspect anchorage, alignment, and grounding.
