The behaviour of airgap flux of synchronous generators was studied and a measurement method for airgap flux density distribution was established. Based on these results, a microprocessor-based instrument for the measurement of airgap flux density distribution has been developed. The authors describe this instrument, by the use of which it is possible to measure exact airgap flux distribution of on-load synchronous generators in real time.
