Short circuit characteristic of a synchronous machine

Connection diagram:

The test points out the relationship between the short circuit delived current and the excitation current.
The reference quantity is the excitation current that has to be therefore suitably varied from a null value until reading a value of delivered current bigger than the 20% of the machine rated current.
