An overspeed test on a machine is carried out at

  • A.standstill with the field fully excited
  • B.a stated percentage above rated speed for a short period
  • C.rated speed for a period of twenty-four hours
  • D.half rated speed with the machine fully loaded

Answer: B

Correct answer: a stated percentage above rated speed for a short period

The overspeed test - commonly 120 per cent of rated speed for two minutes - proves the mechanical integrity of the rotor against centrifugal stress with a margin over any speed it could reach in service. Since centrifugal force goes as the square of speed, 120 per cent applies 44 per cent more stress than rated running.
