This paper concerns a salient pole synchronous generator with damping bars on the rotor, and presents a comparison of the distribution of self and mutual inductances in the stator natural reference frame abc for a linear and a nonlinear circuital model, as well as in the rotor reference frame dq0. Moreover, this paper shows a proposed method of modeling the damping circuits on the rotor of a salient pole synchronous generator. An experimental verification of the registered induced voltage in the damping bars on the rotor is presented.
