Instructions for conducting generally applicable and accepted tests to determine the performance characteristics of synchronous machines are contained in this guide. Although the tests described are applicable in general to synchronous generators, synchronous motors (larger than fractional horsepower), synchronous condensers, and synchronous frequency changers, the descriptions make reference primarily to synchronous generators and synchronous motors.

P115
Guide for Test Procedures for Synchronous Machines Including Acceptance and Performance Testing and Parameter Determination for Dynamic Analysis
This guide contains instructions for conducting generally applicable and accepted tests to determine the performance characteristics of synchronous machines. Although the tests described are applicable in general to synchronous generators, synchronous motors (larger than fractional horsepower), synchronous condensers, and synchronous frequency changers, the descriptions make reference primarily to synchronous generators and synchronous motors. The tests described apply to motors and generators, as needed, and no attempt is made to partition this guide into clauses applying to motors and clauses applying to generators. This guide does not cover all possible tests or tests of a research nature, but only general methods that can be used to obtain performance data. The schedule of factory and field tests, which might be required on new equipment, is normally specified by applicable standards or by contract specifications. This guide does not require any specific test in a given transaction or implies any guarantee about specific performance indices or operating conditions. The term specified conditions for tests as used in this guide is considered as rated conditions unless otherwise agreed upon. Rated conditions usually apply to the quantities listed on the machine nameplate.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.

IEEE Guide for Test Procedures for Synchronous Machines Part I–Acceptance and Performance Testing Part II–Test Procedures and Parameter Determination for Dynamic Analysis
Instructions for conducting generally applicable and accepted tests to determine the performance characteristics of synchronous machines are contained in this guide. Although the tests described are applicable in general to synchronous generators, synchronous motors (larger than fractional horsepower), synchronous condensers, and synchronous frequency changers, the descriptions make reference primarily to synchronous generators and synchronous motors.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
