Abstract
An electrical generator and method for operating the same are provided. Accordingly, the generator includes a non-rotatable component supporting a field winding assembly and a rotatable component oriented to rotate relative thereto. The generator also includes an armature winding assembly fixedly coupled to the rotatable component so as to rotate therewith during operation of the generator. The generator also includes a resistive assembly fixedly coupled to the rotatable component so as to rotate therewith during the operation of the generator. The resistive assembly electrically couples at least two separate phase windings of the armature winding assembly. The resistive assembly is also configured to introduce a resistance into the armature winding assembly in response to an electrical fault.
