A superconducting generator is expected to be a next‐generation machine due to its many advantages over a conventional generator. Super‐GM has been promoting R&D of 70‐MW‐class superconducting model generators to verify the basic technologies required for the design and manufacture of a 200‐MW‐class superconducting pilot generator. Verification tests of the third model generator, quick response excitation type C generator, were finished in June 1999. The excellent characteristics as a superconducting generator were verified through the series of tests. We report main test results such as “open and short‐circuit test,” “loaded test,” “quick excitation test,” “negative‐phase sequence overcurrent test,” and “sudden short circuit test.” © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
