How to Evaluate Short Circuit Ratio?

Short Circuit Ratio evaluator uses Short Circuit Ratio = 1/Synchronous Reactance to evaluate the Short Circuit Ratio, Short circuit ratio or SCR is a measure of the stability of an electromechanical generator. It is the ratio of field current required to produce rated armature voltage at open circuit to the field current required to produce the rated armature current at short circuit. Short Circuit Ratio is denoted by SCR symbol.
