These graphs show the 3-phase short-circuit current behavior at no load and rated speed (star connection Y). The Y-axis represents current in Amperes, and the X-axis represents time in milliseconds. Symmetrical (solid line) and Asymmetrical (dashed line) conditions are shown for SHUNT and AREP+ excitation systems for models TAL 049 B, C, D, and E.
Influence due to short-circuit: Curves are based on a three-phase short-circuit. For other types of short-circuit, use the following multiplication factors:
