The requirements in this standard apply to all 50 Hz and 60 Hz synchronous generators driven by various sources such as reciprocating engines, steam turbines and/or by combustion gas turbines. The drive may be direct or through a gearbox or other device that permits different speeds for the turbine and the generator. Also included are synchronous compensators (condensers) of the same output range connected to a grid. Hydraulic driven applications are covered in ANSI/IEEE C50.12. The generators covered by this standard are to have rated outputs of 10 MVA and above. Generators below this rating are generally covered by NEMA-MG 1 [B19]

C50.13-2014
IEEE Standard for Cylindrical-Rotor 50 Hz and 60 Hz Synchronous Generators Rated 10 MVA and Above
The requirements in this standard are applied to 50 Hz and 60 Hz, two-pole and four pole, cylindrical-rotor synchronous generators driven by steam turbines and/or by combustion gas turbines. The drive may be direct or through a gearbox or other device that permits different speeds for the turbine and the generator. The generators covered by this standard are to have rated outputs of 10 MVA and above.
