    Abstract

    In stator core interlamination insulation fault tests, there is a commonplace expectation that the Quad signal detected by EL CID is correlated to the high flux test, at the rate of 5-10 °C/100mA. Evidence to date has been supportive but inconclusive. A new opportunity has been taken to review 106 reported core fault test results from the field on turbo and hydro-generators, where both tests were conducted on the same fault. A number of normalisation corrections were proposed and applied, which resulted in the population mean trend correlation lying between 8.5-10.7 °C/100mA with a 95% confidence factor. The central quartiles embrace the 6-12 °C/100mA range, close to the expected rate.
