A basic reference for the specifi cation and design of fi eld discharge circuits for synchronous machines is provided in this document. Detailed information about fi eld discharge that complements standards IEEE Std 421.4-2004, IEEE Guide for Preparation of Excitation System Specification, and includes many aspects of the withdrawn standard ANSI/IEEE C37.18-1979, IEEE Standard Enclosed Field Discharge Circuit Breakers, is also provided. This document shows the most employed fi eld discharge circuits and defi nes the main design criteria and conditions for the main components of fi eld discharge circuit for synchronous machines.
