Short Circuit Ratio and Its Significance

Synchronous Generator or Alternators

Mathematically, SCR (short circuit ratio) = If for rated open circuit voltage / If for rated short circuit current

Short Circuit Ratio and Its Significance

The short circuit ratio is the ratio of the excitation required to produce open circuit voltage equal to the rated voltage to the excitation required to produce rated full load current under short circuit.

Mathematically, SCR (short circuit ratio) =         If for rated open circuit voltage / If for rated short circuit current

From open and short circuit test it is known that,


The per unit value of Xs is given by,


Key Point : Thus the short circuit ratio and X5 are inversely proportional to each other.
