This paper presents a new method for determining the armature leakage reactance of synchronous machines. In this method, the terminal voltage/armature current characteristic with the machine unloaded and unexcited is needed together with the open-circuit characteristic of the machine. The armature leakage reactance is derived from these two curves using iterative technique. The armature leakage reactances of five synchronous machines of different designs are obtained using the proposed method. Their values are compared with those of the Potier reactance of these machines measured at various terminal voltages.
