✦ Synopsis

The paper describes a method for predicting the load (compounding or excitation and external) characteristics of saturated cylindrical-rotor synchronous machines. The method is based upon the phasor diagram representation of a synchronous machine and utilizes a simple formula for approximating the magnetisation curve. This yields a closed form of expression for the excitation characteristics, while solution of the equations of the external load characteristics is carried out, easily, by using a simple iteration process. The validity of the approach is verified by tests.
