Symmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of a a.c component of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
Asymmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of the total current comprising the a.c and d.c components of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
For small turbine starts generating power 12.6 kph (3.5 m/s) is the typical cut-in speed. At 36–54 kph (10–15 m/s) produces maximum generation power. At 90 kph (25 m/s) maximum, the turbine is stopped or braked.
