In this paper, strategy for development of high-speed rig for performance evaluation of gas turbine driven alternator is discussed. In aeronautical systems, only high-speed alternator is the power generating unit, which is directly or through gear train coupled with variable speed gas turbine engine. Performance evaluation of this type of alternator needs to be conducted on bench to validate its rating. Development of high-speed (30,000–60,000 rpm) rig is really demanding to meet this performance evaluation requirement. Apprehension and challenges for development of high-speed rig, instrumentations, and its rig characterizations are presented in details.
