The system of systems approach is the representation of several distributed and independent systems, for a larger and complex system. The system can be defined as interacting and interdependent components forming a complex system. System perspective considers every single stator bar as a complex system, made up of several component strands and vent tubes. Strands are interacting and interdependent in orientation, to cancel out unbalanced strand voltage and minimizing circulating current. Visualizing the electrical generator with the system approach, the issue of incorrectly aligned interdependent and interacting components of the system has been noticed. The study presents the effective flux calculation due to strand tilt, and a nondestructive testing technique to measure the strand tilt. This paper first time presents a unique system perspective of the electrical generator; this would open further dimensions of system research, in electrical rotatory machinery and beyond.
