Introduction
This document outlines the ratings and configurations for STAMFORD® AC generators, emphasizing the need to verify ratings due to potential changes from product improvements.
Winding Configurations
Generators are available in various winding configurations, including 6 lead reconnectable, 12 lead reconnectable, and 4 lead dedicated windings, supporting connection types like star, delta, series star, series delta, parallel star, and parallel delta.
Rating Definitions
Ratings are based on altitudes up to 1000 meters using the Rise by Resistance method. Key ratings include Base Continuous Ratings for continuous use and Peak Standby Ratings for emergency backup, which involve increased temperature rise but reduced lifespan.
Winding Numbers and Voltage Configurations
The document details winding numbers and voltage configurations for 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, specifying exit leads and configurations for each winding number.
Control Systems and Temperature Ratings
Control systems include AVR Industrial and AVR Marine, with specifications for pole numbers, frequencies, ambient temperatures, and temperature rise classes. Base and peak ratings are provided for different ambient temperatures and temperature rise classes.
Tables and Data
Tables provide detailed kVA and kW ratings for various configurations, winding numbers, and temperature classes, aiding in selecting the appropriate generator configuration.
Conclusion
The document serves as a guide for selecting and configuring STAMFORD® AC generators, stressing the importance of verifying ratings due to potential changes.
