DEF

The time required, following a sudden change in operating conditions, for the rapidly changing component, present during the first few cycles in the quadrature-axis short-circuit armature winding current, to decrease to 1/e, that is 0.368 of its initial value, the machine running at rated speed.

OBS

quadrature-axis sub-transient short-circuit time constant: term and definition standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1996.

DEF

Temps nécessaire pour que la composante à amortissement rapide du courant transversal dans l'induit en court-circuit, présente dans les toutes premières périodes qui suivent un changement brusque des conditions de fonctionnement, décroisse jusqu'à 1/e, c'est-à-dire 0,368 fois sa valeur intiale, la machine tournant à sa vitesse assignée.

OBS

constante de temps subtransitoire tansversale en court-circuit : terme et définition normalisés par la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en 1996.
