Is there any helpful website where I can get typical technical parameters of a 1.5MW, 480VAC, Steam Turbine Generators?

I tried to search into the web but it only provides me the commercial catalog.

Nightfox1925,

Technical parameters can vary a lot depending on manufacturer and excitation system. You would be best to approach a steam turbine or generator vendor and request information from them (and be sure to tell them of your application if it includes large motor starting). They should be able to help.

Solar, who manufacture gas turbine generators, are able to provide all sorts of technical information for their machines, including performance during sudden application and removal of load. Maybe a steam turbine vendor would be able to do similar for his machines.

A 1.5MW prime mover, which could support a generator of near 2MVA, is getting pretty big for 480V. Perhaps you would be better off generating at MV.
